In order to get past the Windows 11 error about MBR vs GPT, should I convert the disk that says Windows (System, Boot, Active, Primary) even if this is not Disk 0?
If you tend to convert an OS drive from MBR to GPT, please first confirm if your computer motherboard supports UEFI boot mode. GPT is configured with UEFI boot mode, while MBR is tied to Legacy. So, EaseUS Partition Master supports converting an OS disk from MBR to GPT. And in the mean time, you'll also need to configure and set the computer to enable UEFI boot mode.
Hi, I know that you might not see this but when I try converting it to gpt it says to reboot the system and after I do reboot it says to reserve more free space even though I have 60gb free space on system disk
Update: I read an article it said to unallocate a few megabytes but I had to unallocate a total of 20 gb for it to get through I dont know why exactly but it worked now
If you want to figure out what happened, we need more details such as the screenshot of Disk Management and the operation blog(C:\Program Files\EaseUS\EaseUS Partition Master\bin\EPMLOG.LOG) .You can contact our customer service by e-mail: support@easeus.com, they will give you professional advice.@@tsukeeh3601

Using EaseUS, I recently converted a secondary SSD to GPT and after a few days it is behaving strangely: when I turn on the PC the SSD isn't detected, after a reboot it's detected and works normally. Could the conversion have corrupted the drive in some way?
Technically MBR to GPT conversion won't cause the not detecting issue or cause corruption. But if the trouble continues to occur, try to contact our support team (support@easeus.com) to check the issue for you.
Hi I converted it by following your steps but now every time I restart my laptop I get blue screen of death and also windows won't update and I can't use a USB to boot, it says something like "no operating system" when I try to boot from USB. Plus no CMD in advanced startup. Kindly help with this.
You can check the physical switches to unlock the write protection first. Or use EaseUS Partition Master to provide a tool to remove the write protection.

What about Disk 0 with Windows MBR installed on it? You showed us empty partition formatting did you?

do you still face the same issue or it is fine now?
@@JAFFER3657 For now, it doesn't happen anymore. Maybe it was a bunch of Windows updates that caused and fixed the problem. I don't know for sure.

Says the disk is write protected, what should i do?
You can check the physical switches to unlock the write protection first. Or use EaseUS Partition Master to provide a tool to remove the write protection.
is the data will be lost?
The conversion won't affect data or cause data loss.
Did you confirm this, Shuaib?
Can the free version do this?
did you try it, did it work?
@@osamausuf No, the Free version doesn't allow this. But, I bought a one-month sub, completed it very easily, and then canceled. Well worth it!
@@SmoothBassVO Any data loss?
@@SmoothBassVO alright, thanks.
@@MPSystem nope
