GUID代表GUID 分区表(GUID Partition Table),它是作为统一可扩展固件接口(Unified Extensible Firmware Interface)( UEFI ) 的一部分引入的。相比之下,MBR代表Master Boot Record,它使用标准的BIOS 分区(BIOS partition)表。使用GPT(GPT)优于MBR有许多优点,例如您可以在每个磁盘上创建四个以上的分区,GPT可以支持大于 2 TB 的磁盘,而MBR不能。
MBR仅将引导扇区(boot sector)存储在驱动器的开头。如果此部分发生任何事情,您将无法启动到Windows,除非您修复GPT在磁盘上的其他各个位置存储分区表(partition table)备份的启动扇区(boot sector)并加载紧急备份。(disk and emergency backup)您可以继续使用您的系统而不会出现任何问题。
此外,由于分区表(partition table)的复制和循环冗余校验(redundancy check)( CRC ) 保护, GPT 磁盘(GPT disk)提供了更高的可靠性。从MBR(MBR)转换为GPT时您可能面临的唯一问题是磁盘不应包含任何分区或卷,这意味着不可能从MBR转换为GPT而不会丢失数据。幸运(Fortunately)的是,一些 3rd方软件(party software)可以帮助您将MBR 磁盘(MBR disk)转换为GPT 磁盘,而不会在(GPT disk)Windows 10中丢失数据。
如果您使用Windows 命令提示符或磁盘管理(Windows Command Prompt or Disk Management)将MBR 磁盘(MBR Disk)转换为GPT 磁盘(GPT Disk),则会丢失数据;因此,建议您在使用下面列出的任何一种方法之前,必须确保备份所有数据。无论如何(Anyway),不要浪费任何时间,让我们在下面列出的教程的帮助下,看看如何在Windows 10中将(Windows 10)MBR转换为GPT 磁盘而不丢失数据。(GPT Disk Without Data Loss)
(Convert MBR)在Windows 10中将(Windows 10)MBR 转换为GPT 磁盘而不会丢失数据(GPT Disk Without Data Loss)

Convert MBR to GPT Disk Without Data Loss in Windows 10
GUІD stands for GUID Partition Table which was introduсed as a рart of the Unified Extensible Firmware Interface (UEFI). In contrast, MBR stands for Master Βoot Record, which uses the standard BIOS partition table. There аre many advantages оf using GPT over MBR such as you can create more than four partitions on each disk, GPT can support disk larger than 2 TB whеre MBR can’t.
MBR only stores the boot sector at the beginning of the drive. If anything happens to this section, you won’t be able to boot to Windows unless you repair the boot sector where GPT stores the backup of the partition table at the various other places on disk and emergency backup is loaded. You can continue using your system without any issues.
Furthermore, GPT disk provides greater reliability due to replication and cyclical redundancy check (CRC) protection of the partition table. The only problem which you can face while converting from MBR to GPT is that the disk should not contain any partitions or volumes which means it would be impossible to convert from MBR to GPT without data loss. Fortunately, some 3rd party software can help you convert your MBR disk into GPT disk without data loss in Windows 10.
If you’re using Windows Command Prompt or Disk Management to convert MBR Disk to GPT Disk then there would be data loss; therefore it is advised that you must make sure to backup all of your data before using any one of the below-listed methods. Anyway, without wasting any time, let’s see How to Convert MBR to GPT Disk Without Data Loss in Windows 10 with the help of the below-listed tutorial.
Convert MBR to GPT Disk Without Data Loss in Windows 10
Make sure to create a restore point just in case something goes wrong.
Method 1: Convert MBR to GPT Disk in Diskpart [Data Loss]
1. Open Command Prompt. The user can perform this step by searching for ‘cmd’ and then press Enter.
2. Type Diskpart and hit Enter to open Diskpart utility.
3. Now type the following command one by one and hit Enter after each one:
list disk (Note down the number of the disk which you want to convert from MBR to GPT)
select disk # (Replace the # with the number which you noted down above)
clean (Running the clean command will delete all partitions or volumes on the disk)
convert gpt
4. The “convert gpt” command will convert an empty basic disk with the Master Boot Record (MBR) partition style into a basic disk with the GUID Partition Table (GPT) partition style.
5.Now it would be best if you created a New Simple Volume on the unallocated GPT disk.
Method 2: Convert MBR to GPT Disk in Disk Management [Data Loss]
1. Press Windows Key + R then type diskmgmt.msc and hit Enter to open Disk Management.
2. Under Disk Management, select the Disk you want to convert then make sure right-click on each of its partitions and select Delete Partition or Delete Volume. Do this until only unallocated space is left on the desired disk.
Note: You will be only able to convert an MBR disk to GPT if the disk does not contain any partitions or volumes.
3. Next, right-click on the unallocated space and select “Convert to GPT Disk” option.
4. Once the disk is converted to GPT, and you can create a New Simple Volume.
Method 3: Convert MBR to GPT Disk Using MBR2GPT.EXE [Without Data Loss]
Note: MBR2GPT.EXE Tool is only available to Windows users who have installed Creators update or have Windows 10 build 1703.
The main advantage of using MBR2GPT.EXE Tool is that it can convert an MBR Disk to GPT Disk without any data loss and this tool is inbuilt in Windows 10 version 1703. The only problem is that this tool is designed to run from a Windows Preinstallation Environment (Windows PE) command prompt. It can also be run from Windows 10 OS by using the /allowFullOS option, but it’s not recommended.
Disk Prerequisites
Before any change to the disk is made, MBR2GPT validates the layout and geometry of the selected disk to ensure that:
The disk is currently using MBR
There is enough space not occupied by partitions to store the primary and secondary GPTs:
16KB + 2 sectors at the front of the disk
16KB + 1 sector at the end of the disk
There are at most 3 primary partitions in the MBR partition table
One of the partitions is set as active and is the system partition
The disk does not have any extended/logical partition
The BCD store on the system partition contains a default OS entry pointing to an OS partition
The volume IDs can be retrieved for each volume which has a drive letter assigned
All partitions on the disk are of MBR types recognized by Windows or have a mapping specified using the /map command-line option
If any of these checks fails, the conversion will not proceed, and an error will be returned.
1. Press Windows Key + I to open Settings then click on Update & Security icon.
2. From the left-hand menu, select Recovery, then click on “Restart now” under Advanced startup.
Note: If you can’t access your Windows, use the Windows Installation Disk to open an Advanced Startup.
3. As soon as you click on “Restart now” button, Windows will restart and take you to the Advanced Startup menu.
4. From the list of options navigate to:
Troubleshoot > Advanced options > Command Prompt
5. Once the Command Prompt opens, type the following command and hit enter:
mbr2gpt /validate
Note: This will let MBR2GPT validates the layout and geometry of the selected disk if any errors are found then conversion would not take place.
6. If you don’t encounter any errors using the above command, then type the following and hit Enter:
mbr2gpt /convert
Note: You can also specify which disk you want by using the command mbr2gpt /convert /disk:# (replace # with the actual disk number, e.g. mbr2gpt /convert /disk:1).
7. Once the above command completes your disk will be converted from MBR to GPT. But before the new system can boot properly, you need to switch the firmware to boot to UEFI mode.
8. To do that you need to enter BIOS setup then change the boot to UEFI mode.
This is how you Convert MBR to GPT Disk Without Data Loss in Windows 10 without the help of any third-party tools.
Method 4: Convert MBR to GPT Disk Using MiniTool Partition Wizard [Without Data Loss]
