If you already have a Windows operating system installed on your MBR hard drive, you can move it to a GPT hard drive. You can also install Windows onto a USB drive (Windows To Go), then move it to a GPT hard drive. Windows can not complete the installation process on the GPT partition, but it can completely run on the GPT partition once it is installed. Move the Windows operating system installed on MBR to GPT This is probably the simplest and easiest way, you can install Clover Bootloader on your hard drive for convenient use instead of using USB. Boot into Clover but don’t select Grub2, select the Windows icon that the installer has created to continue the installation process. The installer created the boot files during installation at this stage, waiting for the system to reboot.Select the WinPE & Setup menu to start the Windows installation that you created in step 1.Next, boot USB and boot Clover from Grub2 and choose to boot back to Grub2 (Grub2 will now be booted in UEFI mode).Run AIOCreator.exe, click the Bootloaders button and install Clover. First, you need to create Windows bootable USB with AIO Boot as well as install Clover Legacy.

There are a few tips in this article, please read the full article before doing anything. If you already know the above, but for some reason you still want to install Windows on GPT partition in Legacy BIOS, read on. There are many tools that can do this, AOMEI Partition Assistant can help you create a new boot partition to boot the OS installed on this disk in proper mode.
If you move the hard disk to another computer that does not support the corresponding mode, you can convert MBR to GPT or convert GPT to MBR without losing data. There is a common case that many models only support legacy booting if you choose direct USB, such as my HP EliteBook 8560W computer. In this case, you need to select the Boot from EFI file option in the Boot menu, then select the /EFI/BOOT/BOOTX64.EFI (64-bit) or /EFI/BOOT/BOOTIA32.EFI (32-bit) file to boot into UEFI. To install windows on this computer, restart the installation. Windows could not complete the installation. On EFI system, Windows can only be installed to GPT disks. The selected disk has an MBR partition table. Windows cannot be installed to this disk. The selected disk is not of the GPT partition style. The selected disk is of the GPT partition style. You may encounter the following error message if you do not meet this standard: Windows cannot be installed to this disk. Windows MBR does not work on GPT disks, it needs an ACTIVE partition. If you boot BOOTMGR from Grub2 or Grub4dos, it will not be able to find and read the BCD file on the GPT hard drive. Moreover, Windows can not complete the installation process in this case. To install Windows on a GPT hard drive, you need to boot into UEFI mode and to install Windows on the MBR, you need to boot into the Legacy BIOS mode. This standard applies to all versions of Windows 10, Windows 7, 8, and 8.1.
