In this case, a new ESP is created by shrinking the OS partition.

Note: Since the existing MBR system partition is in use while running the full Windows environment, it cannot be reused. This option overrides this block and enables disk conversion while running in the full Windows environment. Multiple /map options can be specified if multiple mappings are required.īy default, MBR2GPT.exe is blocked unless it is run from Windows PE. The GPT GUID can contain brackets, for example: /map:42=. The MBR partition number is specified in decimal notation, not hexadecimal. Specifies additional partition type mappings between MBR and GPT. If specified, the directory must already exist, it will not be automatically created or overwritten. Specifies the directory where MBR2GPT.exe logs should be written. The mechanism used is the same as that used by the diskpart.exe tool SELECT DISK SYSTEM command. If not specified, the system disk is used. 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 will not proceed and an error will be returned.

All partitions on the disk are of MBR types recognized by Windows or has a mapping specified using the /map command-line option.

The volume IDs can be retrieved for each volume which has a drive letter assigned.

The BCD store on the system partition contains a default OS entry pointing to an OS partition.

The disk does not have any extended/logical partition.

One of the partitions is set as active and is the system partition.

There are at most 3 primary partitions in the MBR partition table.

16KB + 2 sectors at the front of the disk.

There is enough space not occupied by partitions to store the primary and secondary GPTs:.

Disk Prerequisitesīefore any change to the disk is made, MBR2GPT validates the layout and geometry of the selected disk to ensure that: Make sure that your device supports UEFI before attempting to convert the disk.

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.

Offline conversion of system disks with earlier versions of Windows installed, such as Windows 7, 8, or 8.1 are not officially supported. Convert an operating system disk from MBR to GPT using Configuration Manager or MDT provided that 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. Convert operating system disks that have earlier versions of Windows 10 installed, such as versions 1507, 1511, and 1607.To resume BitLocker after conversion, you will 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 cannot use the tool to convert non-system disks from MBR to GPT.

Convert any attached MBR-formatted system disk to the GPT partition format.

See the following video for a detailed description and demonstration of MBR2GPT.

To use this tool in a deployment task sequence with Configuration Manager or Microsoft Deployment Toolkit (MDT), you must first update the Windows PE image (winpe.wim, boot.wim) with the Windows ADK 1703, or a later version. The tool is available in both the full OS environment and Windows PE. MBR2GPT.EXE is located in the Windows\System32 directory on a computer running Windows 10 version 1703 (also known as the Creator's Update) or later. The tool is designed to be run from a Windows Preinstallation Environment (Windows PE) command prompt, but can also be run from the full Windows 10 operating system (OS) by using the /allowFullOS option. MBR2GPT.EXE converts a disk from the Master Boot Record (MBR) to the GUID Partition Table (GPT) partition style without modifying or deleting data on the disk.
