Usually, MBR and BIOS (MBR + BIOS), and GPT and UEFI (GPT + UEFI) go hand in hand.

Create a single MBR partition, marked Active, on whatever drive you`re installing windows on, and you`ll have 1 nice clean install partition

Hi there
@NavyLCDR
I've always found that in order to install Windows on a GPT drive with UEFI boot that I've needed to create a small separate efi partition - size of around 100M -- in diskpart with create partition efi size=100M and then format it with FAT32. The rest of the HDD can be formatted NTFS or whatever.
Then the thing will install and boot (uefi) . Without the efi separate small partition I don't get a bootable UEFI system -- this is NOT saying you can't boot a gpt drive without an EFI partition -- a standard BIOS system boot can in relevant cases boot a gpt disk without an efi separate partition.
@AddRAM -- some computers have problems if you want to use "legacy boot" i.e MBR. the way forward is GPT -- incidentally I'm not talking here about "Secure boot".
I think in any case Windows will create extra partitions e.g recovery etc at Windows install time --at least the later versions do.
Cheers

When installing Windows on a drive you will have the newest technology/file system with greater partition options and greater security options using GPT.
