Windows 10, and MBR?
Hi
I was just reading a post on another forum.
It was said that you can't install Windows 10 on a disk that has a Master Boot Record.
That because it uses a GBR you have to remove all of the partitions and change the boot manager before you install it.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
First off is how the hard drive is set up. You can not install it to a drive with a Master Boot Record (MBR) Windows 10 uses GBR which is far better for large hard drives. GBR supports more than 4 partition entrys and huge hard drives. If you have a hard drive that you want to install it to and it uses MBR, all the partitions must either be deleted or converted to GBR before installing Windows 10.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I installed my W10 on my second hard drive so (no previous OS on it) I didn't run into any problems.
Is this correct, I didn't see any information about this at the time I was installing?
Anyone have to deal with this?
Mike
