The title gives a clear idea, but let me clarify. I’m meeting all the Windows 11 specs except for one. Unknowingly, the C: partition uses an MBR file instead of a GPT format. While I don’t need to strictly follow every requirement, I’d like a smooth experience. Converting an MBR drive to GPT would be ideal, or I could format my SSD and install Windows 11 fresh with GPT when it’s available.

I believe the mbr2gpt approach remains functional, but I wouldn't set up Windows 11 right now—especially the non-release edition. Each time Microsoft released Beta or RC versions, they weren't compatible with upgrading to the stable release.

Sure, I understand. I'm holding out for the release version at the moment.

I plan to test this later since I'm downloading Win 11, though I hope it works.

Previously succeeded with this setup. It seems Ryzen Master isn't compatible with MBR Windows—no worries, I'm not doing serious overclocking, just exploring performance limits.
