Users may not know how to choose GPT or MBR for Windows 10. This article brings you the detailed differences between the two.
When partitioning their own system, many users do not know whether the win10 partition format is GPT or MBR due to the different hard disks used by users. For this reason, we have brought you a detailed introduction to help you understand the difference between the two.
If you are using more than 3T hard drive, you can use GPT. GPT is more advanced than MBR, but MBR is still more powerful in terms of compatibility. Of course, this can also be completely selected according to the user's preferences.
1. MBR supports up to 4 primary partitions.
2. GPT is not limited by the number of partitions.
1. MBR only supports up to 2 TB hard disk.
2. GPT supports up to 18 EB hard disk.
PS: 1 EB=1024 PB, PB=1024 TB.
1. MBR has its own startup code. Once it is damaged, it cannot be started and must be repaired.
2. GPT reduces the risk of damage and saves a copy of the partition table at the end of the hard drive.
1. MBR has the best compatibility.
2. The compatibility of GPT is not so good, so it is at the very beginning of the partition table.
