Specifies the disk number of the disk to be converted to GPT. Instructs MBR2GPT.exe to perform the disk validation and to proceed with the conversion if all validation tests pass. Instructs MBR2GPT.exe to perform only the disk validation steps and report whether the disk is eligible for conversion. If any of these checks fails, the conversion won't proceed, and an error will be returned.
#ACTIVE BOOT DISK 13 KEY UPGRADE#
The recommended method to convert these disks is to upgrade the operating system to Windows 10 first, then perform the MBR to GPT conversion.Īfter the disk has been converted to GPT partition style, the firmware must be reconfigured to boot in UEFI mode.
#ACTIVE BOOT DISK 13 KEY OFFLINE#
Offline conversion of system disks with earlier versions of Windows installed, such as Windows 7, 8, or 8.1 aren't officially supported. Convert an operating system disk from MBR to GPT using Configuration Manager or MDT if your task sequence uses Windows PE version 1703 or later.

However, you must run the tool while booted into Windows 10 version 1703 or later, and perform an offline conversion.

To resume BitLocker after conversion, you'll need to delete the existing protectors and recreate them. Convert an MBR disk with BitLocker-encrypted volumes as long as protection has been suspended.You can't use the tool to convert non-system disks from MBR to GPT. Convert any attached MBR-formatted system disk to the GPT partition format.
