How to install Windows on a GPT disk without losing data?

Good afternoon. I ran into a problem when reinstalling windows, "cannot install on gpt".
Notebook model asus n56jr I
found only one solution, this is to remove all partitions and reinstall on a new one.
"The option is not suitable, because there is valuable data on the disk"
Maybe someone has come across such a problem? How to solve it, install windows without formatting the entire disk.

Convert GPT to MBR using the Paragon HDM utility found on almost all LiveDVD/LiveUSB recovery tools. She seems to do this without losing information on the sections, however, before the conversion, it is strongly recommended to make backups so that you don’t bite your elbows later.
If the number of GPT partitions exceeds 4, then before converting, you must delete unnecessary ones (these usually include a hidden partition with the Windows distribution kit) or merge together those that allow this, since the maximum number of partitions in an MBR is 4.

Try the free MiniTool Partition Wizard 9.1
https://www.partitionwizard.com/
You can install it on an installed system with a reboot to accept changes, or burn the image to a USB flash drive / disk.
