Which bampot?

Your advice was appreciated either way. It might not have helped but it’s a free forum.

When do I call you a troll and report you to the mods? Is it now?

How to convert MBR disk to GPT disk with EaseUS free partition software

EaseUS free partition software allows you to directly convert MBR disk to GPT disk without any data loss. It is much easier than disk management.

Note: If you want to convert MBR system disk to GPT, you will need EaseUS Partition Master Professional.

Yeah, I can see how you'd miss that part...

I think I’ll brave gptgen but only after I’ve got a recovery disk ready

I have a tool (gptgen) but it warns that boot disks might not be bootable afterwards. I want to know if this is very likely to fook it up, or just a possibility.

I want Bitlocker to not prompt for a recovery key at every boot.
