I finally managed to do the conversion. Here is a summary:
MBR disk: 4 partitions. SRP with WinRE, OS, extended with two logical data partitions.
First try failed. Error: two partitions not recognized. The procedure found 6 partitions (not 4). The problem was related to the extended partition.
I converted the 2 logicals to primaries. Now 4 primary partitions in the disk.
Second try, also failed. Error: Too many MBR partitions.
I deleted the last data partitions (a small one, easy to recover). Now 3 primary partitions in the disk.
After this, the disk layout validated OK, the conversion was a success.
GPT disk: Recovery, EFI, OS, data partition.
The WinRe is enabled.
Hi. I can't even validate using the mbr2gpt tool. I am getting an "Unrecognized partition found" error.
The setuperr and setupact log files are attached too. Somebody please hep. :)

The process does not work with logical partitions. You can convert the logical to primary with MiniTool Partition Wizard Free.
Or, you can delete the logical and restore it from a backup after the conversion.

Try this method but no success. And also usb media already contains install.wim file of about 3.5 gb.

Hello @gurgurdeep, :)
I don't see anything missing in your screenshot. It looks like it has successfully converted to UEFI.
You will need to boot to your UEFI firmware settings, and switch the firmware to boot to UEFI mode instead of Legacy BIOS (CSM) to finish.
