mbr2gpt.exe doesnt exist

[max_rofl]

I have the latest Windows 10 iso and whenever I try running mbr2gpt it says it doesnt exist. I'm entering everything correctly and booting from a recovery media. Is there a way I can download mbr2gpt.exe and put it on my recovery media manually? I've redownloaded the ISO and reinstalled several times and I always receive the generic "not recognized as a internal or batch command....etc"

Possibly you are in the wrong folder when trying to execute this application?

Are you at the system32 directory?

No I'm in the X directory because I'm booting from a recovery media.
This thread details all my problems: http://www.tomshardware.com/forum/id-3396749/windows-boot-legacy-uefi.html#19804403

after I cd to \windows\system32 on my recovery drive I get the same error.

Why have you not simply deleted all the existing partitions on the drive, and formatted it to what it needs to install the OS?

Because I don't want to lose files, I have a backup of files however and at this point I dont think it matters.

If you have a backup of your personal files....wipe and reinstall.

If you had started this yesterday, you would have been done by now.
Instead of flailing around trying to maintain the precise configuration as it is now, with a brand new tool no one has ever used before.

Will the mbr2gpt work? Almost certainly yes.
But this type of thing is best practiced and figured out in a non-critical scenario. Not in trying to do "a full reinstall and I need to completely reformat the drive and OMG I absolutely can't lose anything."
