    GPT if your BIOS supports UEFI and you don't need Legacy/CSM/MBR which is old and outdated.

    A GPT disk can support larger than 2 TB volumes where MBR cannot. GPT disks also support up to 128 partitions rather than the 4 primary partitions limited to MBR.

    Also, if anticipating upgrading to Win11 you'll most likely need GPT/UEFI so now to change would be better.
