Please make sure the current motherboard supports EFI/UEFI boot mode, otherwise, the system cannot boot successfully after conversion.Ģ. You can create a Windows 11 to go USB to enjoy your Windows 11 on another device or migrate OS from MBR/GPT disk to another MBR/GPT disk without reinstalling and keeping files on the source disk.ġ.
What’s more, this versatile software has other practical functions.

MBR only recognizes 2 TB capacity even if your disk has 3TB, and it only allows users to partition their disk into 4 partitions. Compared with the MBR table, it can maximize the advantages of large-capacity disks. It is an excellent successor of BIOS (Basic Input Output System), its operability and compatibility of large-capacity disk make it a priority when users hesitate between MBR and GPT. UEFI, Unified Extensible Firmware Interface, is a PC system specification that defines the software interface between OS and system firmware. What’s UEFI? What’s the connection between UEFI and GPT?
