Couple of smart guys here so I figured I would ask.
I am pretty much self taught with all computer stuff, which doesn't say much.
Recently upgraded my hard drive to 5TB. Cloned original drive to new 5TB but because original is an MBR, the new drive only can use 2TB of space (it cloned as MBR too). Apparently if I convert my 5TB drive to GPT I should be able to use all of the 5TB.
1. What is best way to change drive from MRB to GPT? Can I use utilities to simply convert the new drive to GPT and still maintain the cloned data and OS that is already on it, rather than having to start the clone all over again?
2. I'm reading that GPT drives are not always easy to boot into windows 7 on. Should I expect difficulties once the conversion is done?
Any suggestions appreciated and please keep in mind my computer knowledge is limited.
