Good day house, please i need urgent help with my laptop.
I wanted to change my os from windows 7 to windows 10. Everytime i tried from windows it doesn't work, so i decided to startup the installation from boot. After formatting my hdd it now told me that i can't install windows in MBR partition. Please how do i at this point change my hdd to GPT partition that it is asking for.

Windows built-in tool Disk Management provides users to convert disk to GPT with Windows interface. But if you want to use the command line to convert disks, the DiskPart can provide a terrace. However, both Disk Management tool and DiskPart utility can only convert an empty MBR disk to GPT. To change a disk from MBR to GPT with cmd, you can following the steps below:

Before you do, there are some tips for you:

Backup the MBR disk that you want to convert into GPT disk in order to keep the data safe.
You can only convert basic MBR disks without any partitions or volumes into a GPT disk. If there are some partitions or volumes, backup the data, then, delete all partitions or volumes before converting.
If you want to convert MBR to GPT disk during Windows intsall, please open command prompt by pressing Shift + F10.
Step1. Click Start, type "cmd", and right click it, select "Run as Administrator", or press "WIN+R", type "cmd" and press Enter to open the command prompt. Then, input "diskpart" to run the utility.

Step2. Type "list volume" to make sure if there are any partitions or volumes on the MBR disk which will be converted to GPT. If there are, you need to use diskpart delete partition first.

Then, type "list disk", and press Enter, it will show you all the disks on your computer. Make note of the disk number that you want to convert to GPT disk. Here take disk 1 as an example.

Step3. Type "select disk 1", press "Enter", it will remind you that the disk 1 is selected.

Step4.Type "convert gpt", press "Enter" to submit the operation. Wait a second, you will find the Command Prompt says DiskPart successfully converted the selected disk to GPT format. Please take a look at the following screenshot.
