2TB HDD format to MBR or GPT??

Only a boot drive needs to be MBR or GPT.

If your motherboard has a BIOS - use MBR.

If your motherboard has UEFI - use GPT.

 

Move Windows 10 from an MBR drive to GPT drive?

I currently have a 2TB drive that may be on its last legs (frequent disk IO errors possibly involving pagefile.sys virtual memory file) and I'm trying to move/migrate it, and everything else on it, onto a new 3TB drive. The problem is the new drive is a
GPT drive, the old one is MBR, and other cloning programs I've tried can't make make the GPT bootable, not even diskpart. The new C: partition will be 1.5TB (est), to replace the older 750GB partition.

My system is a Lenovo H520, which does have UEFI. How can I clone my system partition so it is bootable on the new drive?

 

Windows 10 USB Flash Drive - MBR or GPT?

Hello

I´d like to know if the Windows 10 USB Flash Drive is on
MBR or GPT partition scheme.

I am considering to buy the Windows 10 USB version, but if it is on the old MBR partition scheme, I will not be able to install on
UEFI mode.

Anyone who owns an USB copy?

Thank you all,

Ricardo
