So far this is working out. I have the drive as GPT now with my old W10 install running as it should be. I am upgrading to W11 now and then will move my D drive back on afterwards. Let's hope all finishes up correctly and then I can get the other 2 PCs done in the same manner. Appreciate the...

Interesting - and it keeps all the data and doesn't cause the drive to revert to MBR? How do I make sure W10 installs to GPT and not MBR which I think is its default. Yes I converted it with MPT first, then rebooted got BSD, then rebooted with W10 install USB went to command prompt and...
