I have a system that is new, but won't upgrade to W11 because my NVME when cloned did not clone GPT but MBR. I will have to do the settings change to convert my OS to GPT from the MBR. I'm a little scared about doing this since I have SO many programs installed on my drive. I have done it to another PC and that went well and was pretty easy to do.
Many say it is best to just do a clean install of W11, but that would mean I would have to reinstall and setup all of my programs on my PC. That would actually mean at LEAST 24 hours of install and setup of these programs. I'm not exaggerating on this either. I have worked with PC's for many, many years, but have never had to do anything like this.
What would everyone recommend? Clone my W10 drive to a new drive, convert my W10 drive to GPT, and then upgrade to W11? I have searched Google for this, and found many answers, but want advice from experts on here of what they would do.
Thanks so much.
