How to convert a GPT disk with Win10 to MBR
Andi B.:
I don't want to loose the Win10 installation. How can I convert the disk to MBR so I can add some OS/2 partitions?
Pete:
Hi Andi
This is probably what you are looking for

Have fun :-)

Andi B.:
The say -
--- Quote ---You can change a disk from a GPT to an MBR partition style as long as the disk is empty and contains no volumes.
--- End quote ---
I don't want to delete the W10 installation.
DFSee does have an option to convert GPT to MBR. But does the installed W10 still work afterwards?
Pete:
Hi Andi
I have never needed to try.
You could email Jan (DFSee) and ask :-)
Regards
Pete

If you have an opportunity to pose your question to Jan please let us know what he tells you.
I took a quick look at DFSee 15.3. DFSee will clone partitions but it is unclear to me whether DFSee will clone a partition from a GPT disk to a MBR disk, and if so whether the MBR clone will thereafter boot with AirBoot.
With Windows 7 reaching the final end of its service life I've been trying to setup a Thinkpad to dual boot to ArcaOS and Windows 10. I am having a devil of a time with it. If and when I can actually get Windows 8.1 or 10 to install it crush not only AirBoot but reformats my ArcaOS partition at the end of the drive.
