    MBT to GPT conversion

    Has anyone converted an MBR boot disk to GPT (Windows 10)?

    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.

        This worked for me, as well as all the repartitioning stuff, - free, too

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

                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...

                  UPDATE: gptgen has fooked the boot disk.

                  Reinstalling Windows 10 now. Good job all data is backed up.

                    You didn't make it clear that it was your system disk pal, - i was actually trying to help.
