I attempted to resolve this using disk management, but the option is unavailable. I tried running the mbr2gpt command via the command prompt, but it didn’t work. Would you like assistance converting it while preserving your data, or should I suggest backing up and wiping the SSD before trying again?

It seems you're wondering if you can run this task using the command prompt regardless of the system setup. What does that phrase mean in context?

This task needs special admin rights and isn't possible on the boot disk. The simplest solution is to erase the drive and set up a fresh partition in the right format.
