    :shock: While my statement about Windows 10 was in jest, I never knew it actually had built in functionality that helped enable ransomware! This is something I will definitely investigate. Thank you!

    Here is another option question. Can I "clone" a MBR drive as a GPT drive, making the format change during the cloning process? If so, that would be the absolute easiest way (for me).
