[QUOTE="BIGBEARJEDI, post: 658333, member: 71113"] If I'm reading this right, the conversion from MBR to GPT wouldn't have been necessary as OP could've used the Free Rollback feature in W10 for up to 31 days provided by Microsoft. Your Post was dated 12/1, so you have until Jan. 1, 2016 to do this rollback.
