Windows 10: I want to install Win11 on a secondary drive with GPT, but my main disk is GPR

I saw this video saying *** both drives need to be the same type.I never manually installed windows before.I have a windows 10 license activated, and I don't want to have win11 on my actual system drive250gb gpr. But on my secondary which is 1tb gpt.When I start the installation assitant or windows update I see a message that my system doesn't meet the requierements, because of my main disk being GPR.What are my options here? What are my safest way to go?I know my motherboard - gygabyte b550 ds3h supports uefi and has secure boot currently disabled with CSM enable.Please, any help is appreci

:)

 

Convert a disk from MBR to GPT in preparation for Win11 install

OK, so I guess from what you are saying is that the current Windows 10 installation is not compatible as it is on a non-GPT disk and in order to fix this, I have 2 options:

1. Backup & reformat the current disk using GPT partition and have Secure Boot enabled in the BIOS + UEFI

2. Install a new drive and install Windows 11 using a bootable Win11 USB drive.

Is this correct?

 

Windows 10 1909 Causes Secondary Hard Drive to not be Recognized

Installing the Windows 10 1909 Update causes my secondary hard drive to not be recognized.

Steps to confirm issue:

• Secondary drive not visible in Windows Explorer
• Secondary drive not visible in device manager
• Secondary drive not visible in disk manager

Steps to replicate issue:

• Installing 1909 update

Steps to resolve issue:

• Uninstall 1909 update

Since updates can only be delayed for so long, an actual fix would be appreciated.

 

GPT vs MBR for SSD OS Disk ? (win7 install)

So

I've got a new PC coming and this time it's the first time I will be using UEFI, i have read all the big stuff but I don't have the hardware yet so It's still kind of half baked but I'll do dig deep into it once I start building in the coming days.

I've read the win7 install guides, MS GPT FAQs (not fully yet), etc,

But I wish to know if:

I can use UEFI as an upgraded bios without having to use GPT disk format?

GPT disks can have any sort of partition cloning for full operational OS backup ?

Will GPT format improve performance on SDD or improve reliability in terms of data integrity or error rate?

When isntalling win7 with MBR but using UEFI, will it work normally without needing to uefi-boot the window7 install?


If I cannot backup my OS in a 100% clone that will boot normally when recovered, i will probably not use GPT, that shit is a step backward.
