If from Windows setup, 1. Shift + F10 2. Type "diskpart" 3. Type "list disk" Before selecting a disc, chose where disc do you want to install Windows Ex: 4. Type "select disk 0" 5. Type "clean" for format the disk 6. Type "convert gpt to mbr" or "convert mbr to gpt" Sorry for my bad English.
Thank you! I have two NVMe M.2 for boot and applications (1TB Sabrent Rocket 4.0, 250GB Samsung Evo 960), and multiple backup/storage HDDs (8TB external Samsung, 4TB internal samsung, and two 3TB internal Samsungs). I just wanted to convert one of the 3TB storage HDDs and it wouldn't go over 2TB. All the guides were trying to convert using command prompt and fairly complicated. My disk was already blank so I didn't care about any of that. Your method worked in about 10 seconds.
Thank goodness for youtube & you I was about to complain that I got a dud drive, fortunately I chose to check with you first & found I had chosen the MBR type instead of GPT & I messed up & not the supplier. Thanks for the save.
Thanks buddy. I’ll put this to use with my new NVMe drive ASAP so that it’s ready to be a Windows disc in future. For now, it’ll hold most of my data with a SATA3 SSD handling Windows. But when 2TB NVMe PCIe 4 M.2 drives are more affordable, I’ll shift things around.
There is a way to convert MBR to GPT without deleting the volume or on an existing disk with data on. I did it sometime back, what if you want to convert system drive to GPT for UEFI and Secure Boot, but thanks for the info.
Hello brother my system drive is gpt and my new SSD is also gpt And I am using mini tool to migrate windows but due to gpt partition it's showing bios to be uefi but I dont how to do it. Do you know how to migrate from gpt system drive to a new gpt SSD??
So I converted the disk and plan to move the os to ssd so I can boot from it and save other data on hdd, I cloned successfully with partition assistant.
Brilliant explanation but disk management on my laptop running win8.1 does not give a GPT option - Dynamic disk or MBR. Tried on a win 10 laptop and same thing. Disk management shows the unallocated space and also a 260mb efi. An7 explanation forthis welcome. Disk trying to convert is external.
Best method if the drive I want to convert to GPT houses my OS? I suppose it would crash if I format my startup disk. I have 256gb ssd + 3tb hdd (only 2tb allocated hence why I need GPT) and the mass storage is full.
This was SUPER HELPFUL! Thank you so much for creating this, as I followed your directions exactly, and got my 4TB external drive to work as intended. You're the best :)
THANK YOU SO MUCH!!! NOW I CAN INSTALL WINDOWS 7 ON MY DRIVES! YOU DESERVE THE SUBSCRIBE BUTTON!!! :D So, i was doing this because, Windows 10 updates is slowing down my computer was very slow today, and i gotta go back Windows 7.
What about when you install a new 4TB drive in a single drive system. Once drive has been installed and you install Windows, will the 4 TB drive be recognised and will you have option to format drive in GPT format during installation process?
I read 15 different tutorials on the Internet and most wanted you to download some stupid tool. You literally made it so much easier than everyone else makes it out to be! Awesome Vid!
i appairently have a recovery volume on my ssd from when i tried to clone my os onto it and now i dont know how to remove it in disk management it just says help when i right click there are no other options.
If you are in the boot menu to download windows you have to delete your files on it then it will let you. For those wondering. Atleast that's what I had to do to download windows on it
WHy would I do that? I have a pc with a SSD 250 gb and now I bought a new SSD 500gb, and that should be a second drive, so I would have two drive, but when installing it ask, GTP or MBR? what should I choose?
Hey! Questions… I’m trying to use smart access memory for my Pc but I need to convert my booting system drive to GPT but I cannot delete the disk since that’s where my operating system is. What should I do?
I wonder if you could Please help me with this.....I have a new Seagate 1 TB Backup Plus Slim Drive. When I try to do your Conversion example, I can Delete the Volume, but When I get to "Convert to MRB Disk" this option is "Greyed Out". What is wrong?I noticed on my Drive Window, I have two Partitions on my Seagate Drive: not one as your example shows.There is the Big Primary Partition 931gig on the right and the a much smaller 221mg Unallocated Partition on the left. Is that little Partition keeping me form doing the MRB Conversion? Is this why that option is "greyed out?"What do I need to do to complete the GPT to MRB conversion? I'm lost. Thank You, Von Ehman (I have Windows 10)

Excellent, couldn't better, couldn't be easier, subscribed, and thank you.
Yyyyyyyy
Soooo awesome it really helped me out ❤❤
Does this work with a single drive or only multiple
If from Windows setup,
1. Shift + F10
2. Type "diskpart"
3. Type "list disk"
Before selecting a disc, chose where disc do you want to install Windows
Ex: 4. Type "select disk 0"
5. Type "clean" for format the disk
6. Type "convert gpt to mbr" or "convert mbr to gpt"
Sorry for my bad English.
Dude you are an absolute life saver. Explaining every angle with amazing voice quality
And like magic, my 2TB external hard drive became the 8TB I paid for! Thank you!
you made this 3 years ago and its still helping people thank you
You solved my issue in SECONDS!!! You absolute LEGEND!!! Didn't realise it'd be this quick and efficient - subbed!
Spent 2 hours trying and then looked it up on RUclips and I took 2 minutes thanks 🙏
Whether you are so smart or to much random complicated youtuber out there. Your tutorial save us time, thank you.
limitations on disk management, some operation cannot do while you are running the system, need to enter pe mode
Thank you! This is one of the best tutorials for anything related to this subject I've ever watched!
finally, someone that explains well thank you :)
This tutorial is useful to me but I cannot convert system disk with it, I finally converted with Aomei this one is nice.
Can you help, I want to move the os to ssd and keep data on hdd, is that ok
I'm laughing at how other videos are making me do 20 complicated steps and here you are completing the task in under 5 mins. Thank you!

Thank you for this clear explanation I achieved with Aomei partition.
The video I've been searching around for! Thank you!
Thank you so much you saved me from buying these apps to do the same thing. You made it very simple and easy to do and understand thank you!
Thank goodness for youtube & you I was about to complain that I got a dud drive, fortunately I chose to check with you first & found I had chosen the MBR type instead of GPT & I messed up & not the supplier.
Thanks for the save.
converted successfully here with partition assistant.
THANK YOU, you’re the only that explained it properly omg
Man, so thank you for this, I went crazy when disc didn't showing up on TV :D So much thank you.
You!!!!! My guy, are a TIME SAVER subbed for sure 🤙
So this disk management is limited, it cannot convert system disk, so I changed to other tool, aomei is actually nice.
were there running programs when you did it and did they get affected?
Quick and concise - Thank you, been troubled with this for a while now...
And you have just solved a big problem man. Million thanks. Cheeeeeers
Liked and subbed. Clear and concise, thank you
Thanks buddy. I’ll put this to use with my new NVMe drive ASAP so that it’s ready to be a Windows disc in future. For now, it’ll hold most of my data with a SATA3 SSD handling Windows. But when 2TB NVMe PCIe 4 M.2 drives are more affordable, I’ll shift things around.
Many thanks!
GPT was the key... to have windows use all 3.6tb (rather than limited to 2.0tb) of a 4.0tb SSD.
Thx could not find this method anywhere else👍
Thanks for your concise and clear instructions. Worked perfectly for me.

Thanks ගොඩක් ප්රයෝජනය උනා
thanks man, this helped me a lot!
thank you I needed this video.
aomei is really convenient to use better than diskpart
@@amlanhaque461Yes, because when you delete the volume everything gets deleted. So back up onto an external hdd, usb, or SD.
Thanks man great help now I have ssd boot
Great help, thanks.
Thank you so much 👍
Thanks man, you are the best.
Finally done...Thank you boss, thanks a lot💝
So obvious, and yet so hidden that you have to right click an unformatted drive and select "Convert to GPT". Thank you so much!

What if it’s the drive your OS is on? How would you go about wiping that drive and changing to GPT and reinstalling windows?
When I right click on my drive, the option to "delete volume" is gray.
