Backup and rebuild of Win10 PT machine
Hi all
I have a PT Windows machine with Windows 10, but because it doesnt have the correct UEFI firmware layout on C: it can no longer do Windows Updates. Its apparently because the format is MBR but should be GPT. I have a lot of software on this machine and it takes me days to set one up from scratch, so i'm wondering if anyone out there has experience with some method for backing up whats on it, reformatting the C: drive to GPT, then putting it all back. Is it even possible or am i stuck with having to rebuild from scratch manually? Any help or tips much appreciated! Thanks David

Search 'restore MBR partition to GPT' or there's this:

I believe Macrium Reflect can do this. Definitely not for the faint of heart. However, I've found Macrium Reflect to be quite reliable and, once you get the hang of it, easy to use.

Re: Backup and rebuild of Win10 PT machine
So, the bios is set as UEFI, but the OS drive is formatted for mbr? I am curious as to how that happened.
There is no way to resolve this I know of. The formatting is contained in the image, so no imaging process would work (that I know of)

Re: Backup and rebuild of Win10 PT machine
I don’t know exactly how it happened. Mobo is Gigabyte X99. It seems to be stuck sort of halfway into uefi. I’ll see if I can set the bios back to boot standard instead of uefi...also maybe a bios update may help...

Re: Backup and rebuild of Win10 PT machine
I’ve never been able to find an answer that doesn’t involve reformatting. Looks like that’s the only option...
