How can I move my system from CSM to UEFI (Also, does AMD SAM work in a Windows VM)?

Hi, I installed my system on legacy bios and want to convert it to UEFI. The reason is that I want to use Smart Access Memory in a Windows VM ( I heard that it works but I didn't find much about it sadly).

This is my configuration if it helps, the system is installed on the 2 nvme drives using lvm. I used the official Iso to install proxmox. My version is 8.0.4 upgraded from 7.

Code:

  └─pve-root 253:1    0   1.4T  0 lvm  /

So is converting it to UEFI possible and low risk? I don't want to reformat my whole system. And does SAM even work, to begin with?
Thank you!

AFAIK, Resizable BAR (SAM, CAM) does not work with QEMU and PCI(e) passthrough (yet) and you need to disable it in the motherboard BIOS. Let me know when I'm wrong.

I am not sure, to be honest, I saw posts where people got it running and some that said they couldn't.
