Not really because I really clean the rectum after shitting but I was totally on the edge converting my OS drive (MBR) to the new GBT to use my mobo's UEFI after upgrading all my drivers and installing a new build of Win10 I'm like....I'm going to lose all my data when this conversion process tanks everything because in the past this conversion required a complete new and clean install of Windows from scratch which would suck contaminated donkey balls with all the days/weeks it would take to get everything setup back like it was before. The amount of time that it took to figure the conversion error that I was getting (Disk layout validation failed) and having to ultimately pay $50 for a program (AOMEI Partition Assistant) to shrink/move, and convert the partitions because the error log from MBR2GPT.exe was saying that the first partition was too close to the beginning of the drive and I just couldn't seem to git it dun the old fashioned manual way in Disk Management and MBR2GPT.exe in command prompt I was like fuck it, I'll just pay the damned $50 for the program that just one click automates the entire process...I was tired of fucking around with it. Good thing I only had three partitions on my OS drive because I read that you can't do the conversion with over three partitions and they all have to be set to primary etc. I think another problem was that during a previous install Windows had put a small hidden system partition on another physical drive but AOMEI Partition Assistant Pro got the job done in one click (the free version wont do the conversion). GBT/UEFI is supposed to offer a faster bootup and performance but I'm not smelling anything different if I'm being honest. Booting seems about the same as before but I've honestly only have booted once since doing this procedure. I'm at least happy I didn't hose my OS and was able to keep all data intact. Fuck this is like the good ole days of beta testing XP fucking around all night LOL good thing I have some time off work for a bit because I definitely aint waking up early tomorrow...
