Can I convert my OS drive to GPT if it is partitioned? My partitions are PRIMARY(BOOT), RESERVED, and SYSTEMM RECOVERY, and were set up by WINDOWS when it was installed.
I though I read somewhere a drive cannot be converted to GPT if it is partitioned.
If I cannot convert it to GPT, I have an external drive that I can create a system image onto, but will it work if I do not copy all 3 parttions? Or will the system image copy all partitions?
