GPT to MBR

[Mojo Samir]

Hi guys,

When I bought my new pc (self-built), I accidentally made my harddrive GPT. Now I bought a ssd and I wanna do my OS to my ssd but I can't. If I wanna do it in device manager it doesn't let me click ''convert to MBR''.

Install windows according to this procedure. Device manager is not relevant to the install process.

Create an up to date USB/DVD install media by following the steps outlined here:

https://www.microsoft.com/en-ca/software-download/windows10

Then disconnect or disable all hdd /ssd drives but the one where you will install windows.

Insert the USB media tool, with the windows install files, into the board. Next go to the board setup and ensure the board is configured to use UEFI boot settings. CSM should be enabled. Select UEFI for boot device control and Legacy for the other options in the sub menus.

On the motherboard boot device menu, select the command that identifies both the firmware mode and the device. For example, select UEFI: USB Drive, (Windows Boot Manager will also work), and list that device in the first boot slot on the board.
Reboot. Install begins.

When choosing an installation type, select Custom. On new disks, the drive will show a single area of unallocated space. (If there are partitions, select each one and then "delete").

Select the unallocated space and click Next. Windows detects that the PC was booted into UEFI mode, partitions the drive using the GPT and begins the installation.

Any data on the drive will be lost
