⏰ 1:02 The Differences
For Disk Size: MBR disk only supports up to 2TB in size while GPT disk could support up to 18EB in capacity. When your MBR disk is over 2TB, the rest space will be shown as unallocated space in Disk Management and cannot be used.
For Partition Number: On the MBR disk, you are allowed to create up to 4 primary partitions. To create more partitions, you need to make the 4th partition an extended partition firstly, and then you can create more logical partitions. On a GPT disk, you can create 128 primary partitions at most.
For Data Storage Method: On the MBR disk, the partitioning and boot data are stored in one place, so if the data is overwritten or corrupted, the enter disk will be unusable. By contrast, the GPT disk saves multiple copies of data across the disk, so it is more robust and can be recovered when something goes wrong. If you are looking for GPT to MBR converter software for free, keep reading.
⏰ 2:30 Tool 1. Disk Management
To free convert MBR disk to GPT disk via this tool, you need to first delete all partitions on the target MBR disk to make it an unallocated disk space, then you can complete this conversion. So, if you want to convert the disk to GPT without data loss, you’d better do a backup.
1. Right-click Windows and select Disk Management.
2. Right-click on each partition on the disk you want to convert and select "Delete Volume" to clean the disk.
3. Right-click on the target disk, and select "Convert to GPT Disk".
After this, you can restore the data you backed up beforehand.
⏰ 3:14 Tool 2. Diskpart
Diskpart also only supports converting an empty disk to GPT, so you need to delete all volumes on the disk before using this free MBR to GPT converter.
1. Press Win+R together on your keyboard, type cmd in the Run dialogue, and press Enter.
2. Type diskpart and hit on Enter. Then run the following commands in turn and press Enter after each one. After that, you can see it is converted to GPT style in Disk Management.
⏰ 3:50 Tool 3. AOMEI Partition Assistant Standard
The first two free MBR to GPT convert tools require you to delete every existing partition on the MBR disk, which will cause data loss. If you want to convert MBR to GPT without deleting volume and losing data, the partition manager - AOMEI Partition Assistant can satisfy your requirements best. It can ensure a successful conversion by keeping all partitions safe in the target disk.
1. Run the software. Right-click the target MBR disk and select “Convert to GPT Disk”.
2. In the mini window, click “OK” to confirm the operation.
3. Click the “Apply” button to commit the conversion.
Wait for a while, the conversion between MBR and GPT will be done easily and effectively without causing data loss.
