Windows 10: Windows 10 Installation

I can choose between UEFI and UEFI+Legacy BIOS mode. I have a Samsung SSD evo 128gb and don't know it's better MBR or GPT. Thanks.

Windows 10 Unexpected shutdown on start up

OK, so i figured it out myself

Found the logfile in "C:\Windows\Minidump".

You need the Windows Development Kit to open it and a bit of googling to understand it.

Found out that a Daemon driver caused an error. Removed Daemon but this didn't solve it. (ps: Daemon itself worked normally).

I let hibernate my computer again and found another error with sptd2.sys: SCSI Pass Through Direct layer

More google and ended up on the duplexsecure site. Downloaded the W10 version and voila: problem fixed.

For the Windows support team: It would be really helpfull if you could pass problems to a more skilled helpdesk who can do more than proposing the standard solutions in case those won't work.

Cheers

 

It really won't matter. What do you plan on using your system for?

 

GPT is the modern technology and having much more advantages over MBR.

• GPT can contain much more numbers of primary partitions on a disk.
• It can handle lengthier partitions and disks.
• It can recover boot records easier than MBR disks.
• It is compatible with the UEFI, which is on all the new motherboards.

If you have the facilities, better you opt for GPT. But as NavyLCDR said, it does not matter for domestic usage.

 

Domestic usage. I want to use UEFI with SSD in GPT as OS. What usage GPT is planned for? Like Big company?

 

Anybody can use GPT. Domestic users or companies.
When you want to use a disk/partition much bigger, say 2.2 TB or more, you must to go for GPT. Or if you want to use the UEFI features of the motherboard, then you have to use GPT.

You can use UEFI+GPT for your system. It works very good.
If you face any troubles during the installation; or if you think you need to ask any more questions before doing the job, feel free to ask. *Smile

 

@Arc explained it well, short & sweet.
If you're interested in a more in-depth explanation of the differences in the two: GPT(UEFI) vs. MBR(BIOS),
