How to convert a drive from MBR to GPT partition using command prompt

When installing an operating system on a new drive or on a drive that had a partition that is not compatible with your Operating System disk it is important to know how to covert the drive's partition from MBR to GPT and back.

If you try installing the incompatible format, you will get a notification like; "Drive not supported convert to MBR" 

Once you have your new drive connect it to another PC with a working operating system using a drive enclosure or the correct cable. A drive enclosure helps you view the contents of a hard disk without inserting it into a PC 

After the drive has been detected:

1. Go to the Windows search section and type "cmd". Right-click on the command prompt window and choose to run as administrator.

2. Wait for the command prompt window to load

5. Identify the disk you would like to format and type "select disk" followed by the disk number e.g. "select disk 1"

6. After confirming that you have selected the right disk press enter. You will get a notification "Disk 1 is now the selected disk"
