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!

If you want to install Windows 8.1 on MBR, you need to go to BIOS to enable Legacy boot mode and disable UEFI mode. Most of the UEFI -based hardware support Legacy mode. if your computer doesn't support it, you can use a third party software AOMEI Partition Assistant to convert MBR to GPT without data loss.
