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,
