I'm attempting to use the MBR2GPT utility to convert from MBR to GPT in order to transition from Legacy BIOS to UEFI. I'm following the instructions on this site. The validation was successful. However, I am still encountering an error when converting: cannot find room for the efi system partition. I need help to fix this. Thanks.

When the system/ C drive on your computer has insufficient free space, you may encounter the "cannot find room for the EFI system partition" error. Besides, it may appear when there is no unallocated space on your hard drive. Luckily, I will offer you a solid and effective solution for this error.
Before delving into the detailed steps, you'd better check if your motherboard of the computer supports UEFI boot mode:
To solve this error efficiently, you need a professional partition manager. EaseUS Partition Master can be your versatile companion and empower you to extend C partition and create unallocated space. Below are two applicable features of EaseUS Partition Master:
Option 1. Low Disk Space
Step 1. When your C drive has extremely low space, EaseUS Partition Master will warn you in the "Partition Manager" section. It will pop an "Adjust with 1-Click" option. Click it to extend the C drive.
Step 2. You can extend the C drive by clicking "Manual Adjustment." Last, select "OK" to finish.
Option 2. Extend C Drive Without Unallocated Space
If you haven't received the low disk space warning and have no unallocated space on the hard drive, you can turn to the "Allocate Space" in this software:
Step 1. On the system disk, right-click a large partition with enough free space and choose "Allocate Space."
Step 2. Drag the end of the System C drive into the available space after selecting the system drive in the Allocate Space From (*) To section. To confirm, click "OK".
Step 3. To save the changes and expand the C drive, select "Execute Task" and then "Apply."
Prime Alternative - EaseUS Partition Master
MBR2GPT utility requires some technical skills of command lines or background information, which is unfriendly to computer savvies. In addition, any incorrect operation will lead to various errors. Thus, I highly recommend you use EaseUS Partition Master to convert MBR to GPT and boot via UEFI boot mode. Read the following comprehensive article and learn more details:
