Convert Hyper-V machine from MBR - GPT

I have a Server 2012 Hyper-V server hosting 4 VMs.  I would like to convert the existing MBR partitions to GPT.  Unfortunatly I don't presently have any place to completely backup the VMs.  Will the AOMEI Partition Assistant Lite Edition 5.6.3 convert the partitions without causing problems with my Virtual machines?


Thanks,


-Jeff

    Jeff,

    Partition Assistant Lite edition will not allow you convert a disk larger than 2TB, and you cannot use it to convert your disk with operating system installed on.

    If you are trying to convert a disk smaller than 2 TB and it is a data disk, yes, you can use the Lite edition to convert your disk without data loss.

    Thanks for the response.  The disk actually has a data and a OS partition on it.  The total is less than 2TB(MBR), will the pro version permit this?


    Thanks,


    -Jeff

    Jfriend29,

    The pro version should do what you want.  It's ALWAYS recommended to make full disk backups when converting file systems or partition table types.
