The disk we need to convert is the system disk (shown as disk:0 in the image as an example, but the disk naming may vary for each individual). Please ensure you're operating on the correct disk.

How to Check My System Drive Name?

Press the Windows key and X simultaneously, then select 'Disk Management'. On the following screen, locate the disk number corresponding to your system disk, and convert the format for that disk.

Steps to Change Disk Format

Step 1. Press Windows key + R, type powershell.

Then press Ctrl + Shift + Enter to open an Administrator Command Prompt.

Step 2. Verify the prompt shows "Administrator", then enter:

• mbr2gpt /validate /disk:0 /allowfullOS

Step 3. In the same Administrator window, run:

• mbr2gpt /convert /disk:0 /allowfullOS

(The disk:0 value should match the disk number listed under the Volumes tab in Disk Properties.)
