    win 7 mbr to gpt


    good day all
    i have a dell 990 running windows 7 pro 64bit service pack 1 from dell (installed with the dell cd)
    i only use it for running my drafting software, never goes on the net.
    it is installed mbr and i would like to convert it to gpt.
    is there an easy way/simple to do this?

    thank you torchwood
    that is not exactly what i was thinking, didn't realist win7 would not run on gpt.
    i'm not sure if i could install linux on the gpt along with the first partition being mbr ?
