That is quite a painful process. And how do you do that on a MBR

There's no migration path that doesn't have some (eventual) pain. And that
includes not migrating.
A useful place to start is a thorough read of
https://opensource.com/article/19/5/dual-booting-windows-linux-uefi
https://www.maketecheasier.com/convert-legacy-bios-uefi-windows10/
, considering what exactly your system supports (gpt, efi, etc.), and identifying where
you want to end up.
I don't migrate hardware until it's demonstrated to make technical & business
sense.
We've *lots* of legacy-bios/MBR hardware that's perfectly serviceable with
either/both modern linux / windows.
"It's bright & shiny" isn't a valid argument for change here.
Any _software_ that forces unnecessary cost on the ecosystem, including dropping BIOS
support or generally breaking stable user-space, will get removed from the picture. Or,
at least, _very_ marginalized/compartmentalized.
Personally I'm banking on the 'old, wise hats' @ distro here to prevent making
foolish choices. So far, so good.
