An IT technician is preparing a fleet of enterprise desktop computers running 64-bit Windows 10 Pro for an automated upgrade to Windows 11 Pro. During pre-upgrade auditing, the technician discovers that several target systems are configured with legacy BIOS mode and Master Boot Record (MBR) partition tables, despite having UEFI-capable motherboard firmware. The upgrade requirements stipulate that the system drive must be converted to GUID Partition Table (GPT) to support UEFI boot mode without losing user data or reinstalling the operating system. Which of the following command-line utilities should the technician run within Windows prior to initiating the operating system upgrade?
- mbr2gpt /convert /allowFullOSCevap
- Bdiskpart followed by clean and convert gpt commands
- Cbootrec /rebuildbcd
- Dfdisk /mbr /convert
Cevap
Execute mbr2gpt /convert /allowFullOS in the command prompt prior to switching firmware to UEFI mode.
The correct answer specifies using the MBR2GPT tool with the /convert and /allowFullOS switches. Windows 11 mandates UEFI firmware mode, which requires the operating system boot drive to use the GPT partition style. MBR2GPT is designed specifically to convert an MBR system disk to GPT without altering or erasing data on the disk, making it the appropriate pre-upgrade utility.
