Welcome to InclusiveTechWorld, a channel full of useful tech tutorials to make your life easier, for everyone - of all abilities. Simple, stable, smooth.

In this video, I will be teaching you how to Convert MBR to GPT Without Data Loss on Linux.

This tutorial is applicable to all Linux distributions, and is applicable for the following configurations:
-When it is just your entire Linux distribution installed on one single hard drive
-When you just have one Linux distribution is installed, but it has partitions that belong to the operating system on separate hard drives (such as a separated Home directory on an external hard drive)
-When you have Windows installed as a dual boot
-When you have another Linux distribution installed as a dual boot (whether it be installed on the same hard drive or a different one)
