    No & tbh at this stage all you will probably do is trash the install as it's been hacked together.

    Basically you have a legacy install running off an EFI bootloader thanks to Macrium. Nothing will make it boot faster as once the BIOS hands over to the OS it's as fast as it gets in EFI or Legacy by that stage (you already got it POSTing faster) so leave it alone, you got what you wanted and that log files just confirming the original install method and the command you just ran confirms its now got EFI partition system. I would consider it a job done :)
    I never thought it possible but Macrium proved me wrong.

    Well, cool! If it didn't work, plan B was to back up to a virtual file system, reinstall windows, and copy everything but Windows through reflect recovery so it can overwrite properly.
