[QUOTE="The Real Jdbye, post: 10408004, member: 248256"] I don't think you comprehend anything I said. Again, it is as far as I know not possible for software to automatically enroll keys for you. If any software could just enroll keys without user consent then Secure Boot wouldn't be very secure, any malicious piece of software would be able to just replace the .efi file on the EFI system partition (which isn't protected) and then enroll the malware author's keys and the boot process would be hijacked. The very thing Secure Boot is meant to protect against. No piece of software is able to do this, they make you manually navigate to the correct file to enroll through that stupid UEFI screen. That includes both Ventoy and Linux distros. Do you think if there was a way for software to automatically enroll keys that users would be required to jump through hoops like that? That is literally what the mbr2gpt tool is for. Direct from the Microsoft page ([URL]https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/deployment/mbr-to-gpt[/URL]) You can use MBR2GPT to: [LIST] [*]Convert any attached MBR-formatted [B]system disk[/B] to the GPT partition format. You[B] can't[/B] use the tool to convert [B]non-system disks [/B]from MBR to GPT. [/LIST] Footnote: I've personally converted a legacy boot Windows 10 install (that was originally upgraded from Windows 7) in a situation that was much the same as OP's, I can confirm it's not difficult to do. I don't remember if I used mbr2gpt, but it doesn't matter. There are only two requirements for UEFI boot, a drive formatted as GPT, and a FAT partition or EFI system partition (which is just FAT with a special identifier) containing at least one boot*.efi file. Those are the two changes that need to be made, and like I said, mbr2gpt takes care of both of them. [I]Slightly [/I]different layouts, yes, but it's not black magic, it can quite easily be modified. The partition layout just needs to be changed a little to make room for the EFI system partition.

Even if they [B]did[/B] have [I]entirely[/I] different layouts, you can rearrange, resize, clone and delete any partition on the drive you would like using any decent partition manager, [B]nothing[/B] about the drive layout is fixed in place.
