You seem to be confusing file systems with partition layouts there? NTFS is how a single partition on the drive would be formatted, whereas GPT/GUID is the partition table format--your main Windows partition remains NTFS even with Secure Boot enabled. Does this article help with regard to converting it?Sovereign01 wrote: ↑Thu, 13. Oct 22, 20:16To make the jump to Windows 11 I need to make the Secure Boot requirement, and to do that means converting my file system to the GUID Partition Table format, and my SSD failed the "validation" part which means I can't go to GPT with it. I'm toying with the idea of getting one of these and copying/moving the OS onto that, though I'm not sure how I can migrate my system to it and convert the file system from NTFS to GPT.

Never heard of this SSD Validation thing, but if you definitely need to move the OS onto a new one, this might help--it's talking about transferring from a spinning rust drive to an SSD, but the process should work exactly the same:
