How to convert GPT partition to MBR partition

My friends found that they could not install the system when using their laptops. The reason was that the laptop hard disk partition table was GPT and therefore they could not install the boot system. It needs to be converted to an MBR partition and can be installed smoothly. So how to convert? Let’s take a look with the editor below.

How to convert hard disk GPT partition to MBR partition

Preparation tools:

1. Partition tool (needs to run under PE system )

2. DVD-PE system boot disk, or USB-PE system boot disk.

2. Delete All partitions of the hard disk will turn gray, as shown below. Click the disk, click the 'Hard Disk' menu, and click 'Convert Partition Table Type to MBR Format'

The other partition is the system installation partition (NTFS), the size is customized, and it is the C drive.

Other partitions are logical partitions of D, E, and F disks (before creating a logical partition, an extended partition must be created as a backing)
