MBR2GPT Disk layout validation failed
When i try to run
mbr2gpt /validate /disk:0 /allowFullOS
i get the following output
MBR2GPT: Attempting to validate disk 0 MBR2GPT: Retrieving layout of disk MBR2GPT: Validating ...
I have tried this 3 times with 3 fails.
C:\WINDOWS\system32>mbr2gpt /validate /allowfullos
MBR2GPT: Attempting to validate disk 0
MBR2GPT: Retrieving layout of disk
MBR2GPT: Validating layout, disk sector size is: 512 bytes
Disk layout validation failed for disk 0
C:\WINDOWS\system32>mbr2gpt.exe /convert /allowfullos
MBR2GPT will now attempt to convert the default book disk.
If conversion is successful the disk can only be booted in GPT mode.
These changes cannot be undone!

Have you tried doing that from the recovery environment?
I posted a link to instructions on how to do that.
Also, please make sure your windows version is upto date.

- Please check the actual windows version in system information, dont rely on windows update.
