Restoring files after converting to GPT

[rapiddecline]

Contemplating converting from MBR to UEFI win10 and win7 dual booting.

Restoring backup data from external HDD is the same whether backup was from MBR data or UEFI?

If all you are doing is converting inplace partitions, it should be fine.

the boot method for GPT compared to mbr is different so it depends what those backups are of... if its a full install it may not work.

there is a tool in win 10 now that lets you convert mbr to gpt without losing any data, its not so simple for win 7 though.
