Convert mbr to gpt without data loss?

[alii98]

Hi,I want to make my ssd use gpt but I see no solution for no data loss,as I have some data that takes a lot of time to get back
Any help

There are many solutions available, I went with Easeus Partition Master Pro (it has to be a paid Pro version if you are converting a system drive - for a regular data partition you can use Easeus Partition Master Free).

https://www.easeus.com/partition-manager-software/free-convert-mbr-to-gpt-without-data-loss.html

You can also use windows disk management tool, but it only works on empty partitions, not quite useful unless while partitioning the drive for the first time.

There are probably other solutions as well, but i always liked Easeus products, never even needed anything else for this purpose.

And it didn't work
No errors,just it was like nothing happened....

Huh, that's strange. Worked for me every time.

I guess I will do a clean install some time and format the ssd while in windows installation by cmd then convert

That will also work, even with windows integrated utilities.

That is by far the safest and best one solution,the cmd thing

The MBR2GPT Disk Conversion Tool in Windows 10 v1703
Windows 10 Creators Update v1703 introduces a new MBR2GPT Disk Conversion Tool using which you can safely and non-destructively convert a Windows 10 computer from legacy BIOS to UEFI disk partitioning, as well as automate the conversion as part of your in-place upgrade process from Windows 7 to Windows 10. Moreover, unlike Wipe & Load methods, all of this can be achieved without having to move your data off the disk.
