Converting from MBR to GPT when Installing from HDD
Hi,
I have a problem. I have downloaded Windows to a separate partition on my HDD, and used EasyBCD to add a boot entry. Now there is a problem that I forgot to convert my HDD to GPT, and Windows 8.1 is not installing. If I will convert to GPT, my Windows setup files will be lost!
Is there a way to force install Windows 8.1 on MBR, or help me convert without losing my data.
P.S. I don't have any installed OS on my DELL Inspiron 3542....
Thanks!
