Got it done everything works wonderful. Thanks so much pendragon1

I edited that post by adding "It will have to be able to boot the AOMEI GUI so I can restore my OS drive if needed."

Ah OK. So I'll have to search how to make a USB UEFI bootable. Thanks It will have to be able to boot the AOMEI GUI so I can restore my OS drive if needed.

The only Boot option I have is the OS drive. Changes BIOS from Legacy, enabling TPM and secure boot, all my Boot Override options went away. I know LOL. I like it on a CD. Even if was on USB, I still don't have an option to boot from it. Frustrating.

One issue I have now discovered is I've lost the ability to Override boot order. If I wanted to restore my OS drive I have to be able to boot from CD where Aomei boot disk will be. Aomei GUI would appear which would allow me to restore a saved backup. Only option I have in my BIOS is to boot...

Follow up. All done without major issues. Thanks to all who helped!

I plan to use Aomei partition assistant, seems to be quick and easy.

So your saying convert to GPT while in Windows, then reboot to BIOS and then make changes. CMS off Change OS Type, from Other OS, to Windows UEFI Mode. Launch CSM : change to disable. TPM to enable. Turn off all legacy stuff. This should allow it to boot to Windows?

That's me but I did skip 8. I haven't installed a fresh OS since 2011 on my gaming PC plus am now on my 3rd CPU/mobo without fresh Windows install. PC has always been fine. I'm getting off topic, hopefully more will give input on changes to my particular mobo BIOS.

Yeah I saw that was one method of doing it but it doesn't explain in detail the changes needed in the my boards BIOS.

Folks, I don’t want to do a clean/new install. I shouldn’t have to I’m fairly sure. Thanks for your input anyway. Hopefully someone else can chime in. Edit: I will update to 11 later at some point. I plan to keep 10 for awhile. There are some Windows updates that won't install because my system...

70 year old needs sanity check. It's not that I don't know how to install a clean OS, it's just that I don't think it's necessary. Read so much in the interweb that's is a bit conflicting so I decided to post here. Been coming here everyday, just don't post much. System: Asus Z490-A I9-10850K...

Got it and so far I like it. Thanks for the share.

This...always this. It will always be safe.
