How to Convert MBR to GPT During Windows 10/8/7 Installation
How to Convert MBR to GPT During Windows 10/8/7 Installation.
Sometimes, when you are trying to install Windows on your PC, "Windows cannot be installed to this disk. the selected disk has an MBR partition table. On EFI system, Windows can only be installed to GPT disks" error message pops up and interrupts the installing process. Please note the conversion process will format/clean the drive as shown in the tutorial.
In this case, you are required to convert MBR to GPT to get the problem fixed. But how can you make it during Windows installation?
This tutorial will apply for computers, laptops, desktops,and tablets running the Windows 10, Windows 8/8.1, Windows 7 operating systems.Works for all major computer manufactures (Dell, HP, Acer, Asus, Toshiba, Lenovo, Samsung).

Watching this video in 2023. And holy hell you deserve a god damn award. I converted my 0 disk from a mbr to a gtp on my desktop which in turn caused me not to be able to launch windows again. Had get a usb to download the windows installer. But the fact that you showed us how to convert a Mbr to a gtp in such a quick, easy and efficient manner is amazing. No other video has come close to this one. Thank you very much.
