Ensure CSM is turned off and use an 8+ Windows version to let the system format the HDD as GPT during installation.

It's feasible to change from MBR to GPT without losing information, but you'll lose your existing boot files. MBR and GPT handle startup differently—MBR keeps the bootloader inside itself, whereas GPT generates a separate 100MB partition that holds all boot data. Additionally, Windows needs a distinct bootloader when using UEFI, so even with a converted drive, it won't function properly unless you reinstall the operating system.

I share some thoughts with Master Disaster, but actually you don’t have to reinstall the OS using a free tool like a Partition assistant. Once you install this software, the Convert mBR/GPT wizard will walk you through the steps. It will set up an EFI boot partition. Just enter your BIOS settings and switch from Legacy to UEFI mode, then you’ll be able to start your computer.
