    MBR to GPT

    I didn't look far enough ahead when I installed 24.04, so I set it up as MBR rather than GPT. Is there a way to convert, or would I do better just to back up all my data, make a list of programs I've installed, and reinstall 24.04 from the beginning, except with GPT? Thanks.

      Thanks, Sh. From all that reading (and the contradictory pieces of advice), it sounds like I'm better off just backing everything up and then doing a fresh install of 24.04 (the right way this time).

        Rod Smith would be the/one guru on it.

          Qq,
          Thanks. I am familiar with that article. Unfortunately, although I can read each word and understand it individually, I cannot make sense of them put together. I am simply not sufficiently advanced to be able to take advantage of Rod's advice. I still think a fresh install is the way for me to go. Thankfully, Kubuntu is far easier to install and deal with than Windows.
