Hello,
I have had a dual boot system for a while but once I switched to the Clover boot loader with then High Serra and now Catalina, I have had to boot into windows very time using the bios F12 button because my separate Windows Scandisk SSD 240gig drive is still running on MBR. I currently have 3 drives in my desktop. Because of all the at the home time I now have I am finally trying to streamline the use of the Clover boot loader by converting the Windows drive to GPT without Data loss but haven"t been able to complete the task using the windows terminal MBR2GPT option, it always says it failed. So now I have created a disk ISO image of my Window OS using the free Macrium Reflect software and stored it onto my WD storage drive, I have also made a Bootable Win 10 USB. I basically want to reformat the Windows drive to GPT and then use the ISO image to restore my Win OS back onto the same drive now thats reformatted but wasn't sure of the best way to achieve this or if I am making this harder than necessary? Thanks
My Hard Drives:
1.Catalina on a Samsung 840 on GPT Format
2. Windows 10 on a Scan disk 240 on MBR Format
3. Western Digital 2TB running as Storage drive, mostly for Windows games on GPT Format
