GUID Partition Table (GPT) takes advantage of UEFI BIOS to support storage devices larger than 2TB and lets you set up as many partitions as you need (Microsoft Windows supports up to 128 partitions on a GPT drive). The Windows 10, Windows 8, and Windows 8.1 operating systems can use the UEFI BIOS, which can speed up boot and shutdown times and provides additional security advantages. To boot your computer in UEFI mode, you must use a drive formatted using the GPT drive format.
Windows 10, Windows 8, and 8.1 operating systems on Dell computers that were downgraded to Microsoft Windows 7 at the factory were shipped with the hard drive set to Master Boot Record (MBR) format. If you are upgrading your computer to Windows 10, Windows 8, and 8.1, it is recommended you convert the hard drive to GPT format.
