Can it be done just like that?
I've MBR in use my computer and also I've multiboot system. Both Os's are their own SSD drive, and I can choose which OS I want to boot up when the machine starts up, via the Boot-menu! I don't know what happen if I convert one or both drives to GTP. Example of AOMEI Partition Assistant?
Is it possible at all? Who knows?
. One SSD drive has Windows7 Pro and another SSD drive is Windows 10 Pro.

Nowadays, many Windows users have come up with the question of "how to convert MBR to GPT without data loss". Also, in many technical blogs and forums, this question can be found frequently as well. Why do they want to convert MBR to GPT? Let's see the difference between MBR and GPT as follows.
The MBR hard disk can only support 2TB hard disk at most, but GPT can support 256TB.
The users can only create four primary partitions or three primary partitions and one extended partition at most. The GPT can support 128 primary partitions at most.
Some booting main boards cannot support MBR as their system drive, such as MAC.
Some Windows operating systems cannot work with GPT hard disk, such as Windows 2000, XP, Windows 2003 32bit.
How to Convert MBR to GPT without Data Loss?
Diskpart
The Diskpart Command can achieve the goal by the following steps.
Step 1: click "Start", and input "diskpart" in the search box.
Step 2: input "list disk", and then select the MBR disk you want to convert by typing "select disk x" (x is the number of MBR disk)
Step 3: input "list partition", and then select the existing partitions and delete all of them by typing "delete partition x" command.
Step 4:: input "convert gpt".
Disk Management
You can enter Disk Management by right click My Computer > Manage > Disk Management and use it to convert MBR to GPT. But if there are partitions on the disk, you will find Convert to GPT Disk is grayed out. In this situation, only delete all the partitions you can continue the task.
