Thank you so much! This was quick and easy. I was reading so many articles before I finally found this video. At first I was worried I did something wrong because I already changed the settings to UEFI only in my BIOS but then I looked again, restarted and now I have GPT.

Brilliant, worked for me. Spent hours trying to workout why my system wouldn’t reboot after changing the BIOS to UEFI, I didn’t know about the disk management side of things!

@@luis_laurent I had checked to see if my PC could upgrade to Win11 from Win10. I had to change the security settings in the BIOS,( Microsoft have a tool to se if you can upgrade the OS)however I couldn't. After researching, changing my HDD from MBR to GPT was the problem. After following the instructions in the video I went into the BIOS again and was able to change the security settings with no problem. I hope that helps you. Regards.

One of the reasons could be that your disk is split in more than 3, I had 4 partitions and after I unified two of them it worked fine

For me it worked fine. I had a Legacy bios. Of course any data you care about should always be backed up, and also: it's good to watch multiple tutorials before you make the decision. The legacy to UEFI bios change happens after you convert the disk not before. (Right?)

It worked great for me! One machine had 2 recovery partitions that I had to remove before the mbr2gpt would run. The other worked perfectly! After struggling with the issue of not being able to boot to windows and then finding out in some MB you have to install a Graphics card and enable CMS to legacy before you can boot to windows to be able to perform the mbr2gpt. His instructions here were perfect!!!

In this condition is easily & successfully convert because mbr disk has only one partition If your mbr disk has more than 3 partitions you will meet big problem , then mbr2gpt.exe don’t permit to convert, it will show message failed !!!!
