Hi,
In most cases, you will be fine with either MBR or GPT. It is only in situation where you need to install Windows on a Mac, or when you need to have a partition bigger than2TB, that you need to use GPT, or convert MBR to GPT. Also, for the newer model of computer that uses UEFI, it will only support GPT.
Comparison between MPR and GPT:
1. Number of Primary Partitons
MBR: up to4
GPT: up to128
2. Maximum size of a partition
MBR: up to2 TB
GPT: up to256 TB
3. Newset
MBR: is the oldest
GPT: is the newest
4. Default
MBR: is default (in MS)
GPT: is not the default
HTH
Best Regards,
