Going Tubeless

Hi
Would appreciate some advice.
I've bought my first mountain bike - a Boardman Pro 29" - and would like to go tubeless without buying new wheels or tyres. The existing wheels are Mavic XM319 and the tyres are Continental Mountain King. Neither of them say whether they are tubeless ready and I can't find any information on the web.
I've watched a number of videos about converting stock wheels/tyres to tubeless and wondered if anyone could tell me whether I can or can't convert my wheels/tyres to tubeless.
Many thanks

Tubeless ready is pretty meaningless.
The wheels are not designed to be tubeless but can be converted.
Any tyre will go up tubeless in theory, but folding bead is usually a lot easier and better, and are generally superior tyres anyway (lighter, lower rolling resistance and grippier).Currently riding a Whyte T130C, X0 drivetrain, Magura Trail brakes converted to mixed wheel size (homebuilt wheels) with 140mm Fox 34 Rhythm and RP23 suspension. 12.2Kg.0 -
Okay. I'll give it a go. Thanks0
