I'm trying to convert my boot drive from MBR to GPT to enable secure boot for Windows 11 and to get Battlefield 6 running. I've run into a lot of problems during the process. In Disk Management, I can't seem to find the OS partitions for Disk 0. I followed a suggestion to use the bcdboot command (bcdboot C:windows /s C:), but I encountered an error. After spending hours troubleshooting and switching my BIOS to UEFI, Windows still won't boot. I came across a tool that costs $60 just to help with partitioning, but I'm skeptical about whether it will actually solve my issue. Also, I deleted a recovery partition which led to another problem where I can't validate or convert my disk now. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Before you make any changes, it's crucial to back up your important data. If you're still having issues, one of the simplest solutions is to back up your data and do a clean install of Windows from a USB. Make sure to delete all the partitions during the setup and only connect the system disk until the installation is complete.
At this point, this is kind of what I was thinking myself.
