The laptop runs Windows 8.1 32-bit on a Core i5 64-bit system. You want to upgrade to Windows 10 Creators Update 64-bit, switching from MBR to GPT partition. You need a clean install without data loss and don’t have an external HDD. I’m checking if gptget is reliable for this conversion and if others have tried it.

You cannot keep using MBR; you must delete all partitions before switching to GPT

In short, you must have some external backup in place.
