You can’t use the space beyond 2TB of MBR disk while GPT supports much large disk size.
Windows 11 uses UEFI boot mode, which require the boot drive to be GPT partition style.
MBR allows 4 primary partitions while GPT supports up to 128 partitions for complex partitioning schemes.
GPT disk takes measures to prevent data loss due to partition table corruption, enhancing data security and integrity.
Converting disk to GPT is more sustainable storage solution for future hardware and software advancement.
GPT supports disk encryption, dynamic disk configuration and large sector size for better disk performance.
Don’t need to delete any partition or data on the disk

A: Can you convert disk to GPT without erasing data? Yes, it is possible to perform MBR to GPT conversion using the methods mentioned in this article.
A: While the conversion itself may not directly improve performance, GPT offers several advantages over MBR, such as support for larger volumes and improved data integrity.
A: It is always recommended to back up your data before performing any disk-related operations to prevent data loss in case of unforeseen errors.
A: Yes, it is possible to convert the system disk from MBR to GPT. However, this process is more complex and requires additional steps to ensure a successful conversion.
A: If you choose Disk Management and CMD, you will lose data because these tools require you to clean partitions. But AOMEI Partition Assistant can perform data-safe conversion between MBR and GPT. So, you can choose this reliable tool to convert back to MBR.
