Win10 partition format guid or mbr

Their own system installation or hard disk partitioning partners should know that due to their use of different hard disk hard disk format is different, general win10 system is a gpt or mbr two formats, but many partners do not know the difference between these two formats of the hard disk partition format, for this small make up today on the For you to bring a specific introduction, I hope to help you.

Difference in format:

One, the number of partitions supported:

1.MBR can only support the division of up to four primary partitions;

2.GPT will not be subjected to the limitations of the number of partitions.

2. Supported hard disk sizes:

1. MBR supports up to 2TB hard disk;

2. GPT supports up to 18EB hard disk.

PS: 1EB=1024PB, PB=1024TB.

Three, the degree of damage is different:

1. MBR has its own exclusive boot code, once damaged, it will not be able to boot normally, it must be repaired;

2. GPT reduces the risk of damage and keeps a copy of the partition at the end of the hard disk. GPT reduces the risk of damage and saves a copy of the partition table at the end of the hard disk.

Different compatibility:

1. MBR compatibility is almost the best;

2. GPT compatibility is relatively poor, so generally at the very beginning of the partition table.

The above is the win10 system win10 partition format gpt and mbr format difference, hope to help you.
