Can I convert mbr to gpt during Windows installation without data loss
There is a default too that comes with Windows installation wizard. When you reach the section of choosing a partition to install Windows 11 or Windows 10, the disk tool is listed at the bottom where you can create a new GPT partition.
Step 1: Insert the Windows installation USB or DVD and boot from it.
Step 2: Follow the steps until you reach the "Where do you want to install Windows?" screen.
Step 3: Select each partition on the target disk and click Delete. This will remove all partitions, converting the disk to unallocated space.
Step 4: At this point, the disk will still be MBR. Click New to create a new partition. If your computer is in UEFI mode, Windows will automatically convert the disk to GPT.
Step 6: Select the partition and proceed with the installation as usual.
Which method to choose for converting mbr to gpt? The command prompt method offers full control and is especially useful if you encounter errors in the GUI. However, the GUI method is much easier for beginners and avoids command-line usage.
