Convert MBR disk to UEFI (GPT): Problems with existing or future backups?
My old PC supports UEFI, but upgrading from Windows 7 to Windows 10 left it in MBR or "Legacy" mode.
Now that Microsoft has provided a simple program for doing the conversion, I'm prepared to do it, but would like to know in advance what sort of trouble I might be causing myself.
Anything I need to do or think about before doing the conversion?

Point #3 was what I needed. I was pretty sure that the partition scheme change would confuse the current backup settings, so thanks for the confirmation.
One last thing though; I'll be able to restore files from old backups, since that shouldn't depend on the partition scheme?
I have a month's worth of weekly full backups and daily incrementals and I'm always going back to them when I've screwed something up.

Bringing back files & folders from existing backups shouldn't be an issue as can be done via Explorer or the ATI GUI.
