    Was the drive seen in the BIOS menus?

    When available update the progress with the steps in the earlier post:

    BIOS menu

    Images / share links booting each Legacy, UEFI with CSM, UEFI

    Diskpart results

    What happened during boot?

    Was MBR2GPT successful or was there an error message?

    If it was successful then the drive will remain GPT.

    If it had failed the drive will remain MBR.

    Modifying the BIOS does not change the drive partition architecture.

    Boot to windows > take pictures of error messages and codes > post images or share links

    Boot to the Windows 10 MCT (iso} > troubleshoot > command prompt > type these diagnostic commands:

    bcdedit

    Boot to the BIOS > post images or share links displaying the menu for:

    What steps were made to the drive before modifying the BIOS?

    The drive remains MBR until the drive is modified.

    If you can boot Windows:

    1. Please post images or share links displaying disk management:

    If you cannot boot to Windows then return UEFI > Legacy

    If the computer cannot boot after BIOS setting changes then find a flash drive that you can format (> or = 8 GB).

    Find a working Windows computer.

    Create a bootable Windows 10 Media Creation Tool (MCT) (Windows 10 iso).
