Diskgenius convert mbr to gpt9/19/2023 ![]() If your computer is older than that, though, chances are you won't get Windows booting after such a conversion - at least, not easily. Most computers introduced since mid-2011 have EFIs, so if your computer is less than about five years old, you should be OK on that score. ![]() Note, however, that Windows will boot from a GPT disk only if your computer has an Extensible Firmware Interface (EFI) firmware (or Unified EFI, which is EFI 2.x). ![]() For Ubuntu, the easiest approach may be to use Boot Repair. It is possible to do an MBR-to-GPT conversion and keep your OS(es) bootable, but extra steps are likely to be required. If AOMEI does something to boot loaders, the disk might end up booting in one or both OSes, but this is really the tricky part of the conversion, so even if the tool claims to handle it, I wouldn't be surprised if it didn't work. I'm not familiar with AOMEI's partition table conversion tools, but assuming it converts only the partition table, the boot loader differences mean that your disk will be rendered unbootable after the conversion. The bulk of your OS installations should be fine after the conversion, providing the software does what it should HOWEVER, boot loaders are different for MBR and GPT disks.
