How to backup from GPT to MBR?

I made a backup of all hdd with the aomei backupper program, it doesn’t matter, it’s possible with acronis and any program ..
the backup was made on a GPT disk, if you install it on a GPT where it is not supported, then the bootloader will not see it stupidly if you convert the disk to MBR and install the bootloader there, but not the one, it doesn’t work again, I
try to install a backup on the MBR, create my own 350MB partition, make it active and make a bcd file there, but it also doesn’t work,

maybe there is some way to make several partitions and load bootloaders there and there and just, if necessary, activate the desired one?

Often I just use this image so as not to install and configure Windows, but just rolled up and profit in 5 minutes. But if you need to unpack it on an old motherboard with a regular BIOS, then this is a pain :(

What is the problem to prepare 2 images: one for GPT, another for MBR?

When creating a backup from a GTP disk, you need to back up all partitions.
When restoring a backup on another PC, also convert the disk to GTP and restore all partitions.
Please note that not all drives support this deployment implementation.
For example, an error will occur on Toshiba drives.
