Tip: GPT is the way forward for modern systems
MBR vs GPT, Which Should You Use?
If you ever install a fresh copy of Windows on a hard drive, you may be asked to choose which disk partitioning standard you want to use. The choice is usually between Master Boot Record (MBR) and GUID Partition Table (GPT).

Buckle up, because the answer to this question requires a little history lesson and some background information on hard drive technology that you don't expect to learn today.
