On Windows 11, you can use the MBR2GPT command line tool to convert a drive using a Master Boot Record (MBR) to a GUID Partition Table (GPT) partition style, which allows you to properly switch from Basic Input/Output System (BIOS) to Unified Extensible Firmware Interface (UEFI) without modifying the current installation or deleting the data stored on the drive.

BIOS is an essential piece of code that resides on a special chip on the motherboard that enables the connection between hardware and software. This code has been around for a long time, and while it worked pretty well, it was never designed for modern hardware, and it had many limitations, including limitations to partitions smaller than 2TB.

This tutorial will apply for computers, laptops, desktops, and tablets running the Windows 11 operating system (Home, Professional, Enterprise, Education) from all supported hardware manufactures, like Dell, HP, Acer, Asus, Toshiba, Lenovo, Huawei and Samsung.

I knew about the Diskpart commands but didn't know how to enter the CMD on installation. I pulled the HD and formatted/converted from MBR on another PC 😧
Thanks for the video. Good for future reference.

I only wanted to convert just one primary drive on which windows can be installed but this process entirely converted the ssd and all the data stored into it just vanished. Is there anyway alternative way to recover my lost data now ?
