Do you want to clone your system drive to another drive, or convert your current drive from MBR to GPT? The title and description of your post are confusing me

I want to clone i believe.

Can you please walk me through the process you went through for cloning?

I'm not here 24 hours a day

Sure I inserted the drive into the laptop, I opened up the software EaseUS and cloned. That worked but it only Cloned the C drive and not the other partitions l. When I used aemois a few days ago for my desktop it simply cloned the drive and I was able to unplug the old and use the new cloned one. Aemois makes you pay if you are going from mbr to gpt. I then I tried formatting the drive and using macrium but is said there wasn’t enough capacity but I am only using 100gigs on the 1tb drive so there should be enough plenty of space

I'd recommend actually removing all partitions from the drive and then using Macrium Reflect to clone the drive again

But how do I get macruim says there isn’t enough room even though there is. Is there a box I need to check because I am using less than 250 gigs on the current drive
