Convert MBR to GPT/GPT to MBR without Losing Data

MBR and GPT are two different partition styles for disk. By comparison, the GPT is more advanced. It supports disk size more than 2TB, supports up to 128 primary partitions, and has no limitations to the partition size. So many users would like to convert a disk from MBR to GPT.

However, the GPT cannot work on all Windows operating system. So it is necessary to convert GPT to MBR in some cases. For either conversion, the Windows snap-in Disk Management and DiskPart can help, but you have to delete all partitions ahead of time. To get around of that requirements, AOMEI Partition Assistant could be the best choice.
