Partition Prerequisites for converting to GPT using MBR2GPT
Hi
I am looking into converting from a BIOS based system to UEFI using MBR2GPT but I understand there are specific rules for the layout of the system disk. Currently I have four Primary partitions comprising System Reserved, Windows 7, Windows 10 and an unnamed partition which I believe to be the Recovery partition. Should I decide to go ahead then Windows 7 will come out but what of what is left?
In searching out info before making my decision I found this site:
Now I understand there have been a number of folks on this forum who have had problems because their partition layout before starting their conversion using MBR2GPT was incompatible with UEFI. Could I therefore ask Brink or someone else with knowledge on this topic to please give us some idea of the prerequisites re partitions (and indeed anything else) for the conversion including partition sizes since I understand the MSR partition MUST come between the System Reserved and Windows partitions as stated in the item above.
Any help would be most appreciated.

PS I include below my disk layout more specifically my System disk layout as of this moment for any comment but please bare in mind that Windows 7 will come out.
