Why Can't Convert to GPT on Windows 10? I Need Help
I tried converting to GPT via diskpart commands while installing the operating system, but when the OS installation was done, I still had the 2TB limit in Disk Management. So is there any other tool or method to help me convert to GPT?

Hello, I will answer your question and try to remove your issue in the following content. There may be two situations where you say you can't convert to GPT:
Case 1: You typed the wrong commands, and Diskpart didn't convert your disk to GPT; by the way, if your disk contains OS, Disk Management and Diskpart can't convert to GPT at all. In this case, you need to choose a reliable third-party tool, such as EaseUS Partition Master. This tool can help you convert MBR to GPT with three steps, so download it to try.
- Step 1. Download and launch EaseUS Partition Master.
- Step 2. Go to Disk Converter and select "Convert MBR to GPT."
- Step 3. Select the target MBR disk you want to convert to GPT, and click "Convert" to start the conversion.
According to my experience, this tool works well on a Windows PC.
Case 2: You have succeeded in converting MBR to GPT in Diskpart, but BIOS can't boot a GPT disk; in this case, you need to change BIOS to UEFI. Here is how:
- Step 1. Restart your computer.
- Step 2. When the computer manufacturer logo interface appears, press and hold F2/ESC/DEL/F12 to open the BIOS settings.
- Step 3. Press the arrow keys to select the Boot tab. Select "UEFI" in "UEFI/BIOS Boot Mode." Press enter.
- Step 4. Save your changes and exit.
Hope it can work on your issue.
