Once installed, you want to activate the importer. This will bring up all of your Categories.
Here is the next step after you activate the category_to_tag converter:
(In this example, you see only 5 Categories. At the top of the page, you see two blocks, one to convert categories to Tags, and one to convert tags to Categories.)
Check all categories that you want to change to Tags, and click on Convert Categories to Tags button shown below the checked items.
Once you have completed this, the page will provide the results, similar to when updating a plugin, where it shows you the progress and completion. See below:
Now you know how to convert your Categories into Tags within a matter of minutes without painstakingly going through each individual post!

@Dhind1You can remove categories if you want, but be aware that it would create some 404 errors. So you would need to create some redirects.
If I can use the tag to category convertor, would the same problem exist? I would still in effect be deleting the category.

Whether or not your posts are tagged, or have categories attached will determine whether the page in Not Found. Thats an easy fix by adding a category to the page.
Your content is still available, not missing.
Some of my posts were not tagged and the page appeared as Not Found, until I added a relative category, saved it and the page appeared under the category.
