The Pharaoh of Egypt believed before Moses. About 400 years before Moses, Joseph's brothers sold him into slavery. Through years of being faithful to God, He let Joseph witness and discern dreams to the Pharaoh, causing him to believe, and give great favor to Joseph and the Israelites.
Through the centuries they went back to their own Gods and that is when Moses was called by God to set His people free.
Centuries after that their was Lazarus in the New Testament. He was an Egyptian Jew. Jesus raised him from the dead after 4 days. But I believe as an Egyptian Jewish person, their must have been converts.
Hope I helped some....

Unfortunately, Moses seven plague ( Makot Mitzrayim ) seems to be nothing but a Hebrew fairy tale.
The Egyptians were meticulous record keepers and their history were recorded in their writings (called hieroglyphics). Most Christians say that the Egyptian never recorded the Moses incident. But if a person knows his Egyptology very well, you know that the Egyptians recorded everything, not only those positive issues about the Egyptians, especially those that involves religion. As an example, we know that in the Temple @ Karnak, evidence suggest that there are writing about the religious revolution that was started by King Akhenaten and his wife Queen Nefertiti. King Akhenaten created the first monotheism by placing all Egypt to worship only one God which is Aten, The Sun.
This action created a revolution against the the former priests at Thebes.
Many early historians, determined to link Akhenaten's religion somehow to the Jewish religion, said that he was inspired by Joseph or Moses (Redford, p. 4, 1984). This is a possibility, considering that Joseph, at least, was around in roughly the same time period as Akhenaten. However, after close examination of Akhenaten's religion, this hypothesis seems unlikely. Akhenaten's religion did center on one god, but his major emphasis was on the Aten's visibility, tangibility, and undeniable realness. Akhenaten placed no emphasis, therefore, on faith.
If Moses' plague did happened, chances are there are archaeological evidence about it written in Egyptian records. Unfortunately, there isn't any. Christian claim that the ancient Egyptian poem "Dialogue of Ipuwer and the Lord of All" (AKA Ipuwer Papyrus) is a proof of the 10 plague that the Hebrew God send to Egypt, yet this is usually thought to describe a general and long term ecological disaster lasting for a period of decades, such as that which destroyed the Old Kingdom. The document is usually dated to the end of the Middle Kingdom, or more rarely, to its beginning, fitting the Old Kingdom destruction, but in both cases long before the usual theorized dates for the Exodus. There is also the case that says the Ipuwer Papyrus was written 350 years before the conventional date of the Exodus (1450 BCE). So the writers of Exodus may have seen the Ipuwen Papyrus and claimed that the Hebrew God is responsible for the said events describe by the poem.

Yes after the time of Atum Ra or Adam they were believers in the One True God. Enoch was Atum Ra's establisher and was the architect of the Great Pyramid of Giza. This was built in 23 years during the reign of Cheops or Khufu. Khufu was a believer. The Pyramid is a book in stone that gives the dates for the advents of Atum Ra, Krishna, Moses, Buddha, Jesus, Muhammad, The Bab, Baha'u'llah and Baha'ullahs establisher Joshua the High Priest.
The Great Pyramid was sealed up as it was built so that it could not be entered. When the Caliph, Al Mamoun, in search of knowledge to take to the universities of Islam broke into the Great Pyramid in 820 AD he found no treasure and no hieroglyphs. The GP was empty. Well, except for one thing: knowledge. The time line was built into the geometry of the GP. Only one timeline fits and it is that of the advents of the Messengers of God.
Khufu had the graven images removed or defaced from public areas throughout Egypt. After his passing though, the religion of Nimrod raised its ugly head again. It's priesthood claimed that Khufu was a dog unworthy to be buried in his own tomb(the Great Pyramid). Truth is the GP was never intended to be a tomb. Many lies about this amazing structure are being spread even today by the people in charge of the Pyramid. The lies are all you get to see on TV.
The time of Moses was 2000 years after Enoch and Khufu.
Investigate the truth for yourself.

No, the Egyptians never had the Hebrews in captivity, there is no record of them ever being there much less about any plagues. The entire story is folklore and myth, it shouldn't be taken as literal history.

The Egyptians have no record of the Hebrews at all. The entire Moses story is without an outside source.

I have read that in those days there were a lot of Magicians in the Pharaoh's court who could work great magic, And I suppose they thought Moses was just another Magician and yes there are Plagues shown in hieroglyphics

when the Israelies were in the dessert there is reference to a "mixed multitude" that many say were the Egyptians and others that joined the Nation of Israel.

No, they had multiple Gods. There's no account of that in Egyptian or Hebrew history.
