3 Ways to Check if a Disk Uses MBR or GPT Partition in Windows 10: Namely, there are two hard disk partition styles GPT (GUID Partition Table) û MBR (Tomara Boot Master) which can be used for a disk. Now, most of the Windows 10 users aren’t aware of which partition they are using and therefore, this tutorial will help them figure out whether they are using MBR or GPT Partition style. The modern version of Windows uses GPT partition which is required for booting Windows in UEFI mode.
Whereas older Windows operating system uses MBR which was required for booting Windows into BIOS mode. Both of the partition styles are just different ways of storing the partition table on a drive. Master Boot Record (MBR) is a special boot sector located at the beginning of a drive which contains information about the bootloader for the installed OS and drive’s logical partitions. MBR partition style can only work with disks which are up to 2TB in size and it only supports up to four primary partitions.
GUID Partition Table (GPT) is a new partition style replacing the old MBR and if your drive is GPT then every partition on your drive has a globally unique identifier or GUID – a random string so long that every GPT partition in the whole world has its own unique identifier. GPT supports up to 128 partition rather than the 4 primary partitions limited by MBR and GPT keeps a backup of the partition table at the end of the disk whereas MBR only store boot data at only one place.
Furthermore, GPT disk provides greater reliability due to replication and cyclical redundancy check (CRC) protection of the partition table. In short, GPT is the best disk partition style out there which supports all the latest features and gives you more room for working smoothly on your system. So without wasting any time let’s see How to Check if a Disk Uses MBR or GPT Partition in Windows 10 with the help of the below-listed tutorial.
3 Ways to Check if a Disk Uses MBR or GPT Partition in Windows 10
Pê bawer bin ku hûn xalek vegerandinê biafirînin tenê heke tiştek xelet derkeve.
Method 1: Check if a Disk Uses MBR or GPT Partition in Device Manager
1.Windows Key + R bikirtînin paşê binivîsin devmgmt.msc û Enter vekin da ku vebe Rêveberê Gerînendeyê
2.Expand Disk drives then li ser dîskê rast-bikirtînin you want to check and select Properties.
3.Under Disk Properties switch to Tabloya cildên û bitikîne Populate button li jêr.
4. Niha di bin "Styleêwaza dabeşbûnê” see if the Partition style for this disk is GUID Partition Table (GPT) or Master Boot Record (MBR).
Her weha bixwîne: Serast bikin Kontrola Dîskê Nekare Bicive Ji ber ku Windows Nikare Bigihîje Dîskê
Method 2: Check if a Disk Uses MBR or GPT Partition in Disk Management
1.Windows Key + R bikirtînin paşê binivîsin diskmgmt.msc û Enter vekin da ku vebe Rêveberiya Dîskê.
2. Niha right-click on the “Disk #” (instead of # there will be number e.g. Disk 1 or Disk 0) you want to check and select Properties.
3.Inside the Disk properties window switch to Volumes tab.
4.Next, under “Partiton style” see if the Partition style for this disk is GUID Partition Table (GPT) or Master Boot Record (MBR).
5.Once finished, you can close the Disk Management window.
Eve heye How to Check if a Disk Uses MBR or GPT Partition in Windows 10, but if you still want to use another method than continue.
Method 3: Check if a Disk Uses MBR or GPT Partition in Command Prompt
1.Press Windows Key + X paşê hilbijêre Fermana Biryara (Admin).
2. Fermana jêrîn yek bi yek binivîsin û piştî her yekê Enter bixin:
diskpart
lîsteya dîskê
3.Now you will see all the disk with information such as status, size, free etc but you need to check if the Disk # has a * (asterisk) in its GPT column or not.
Not: Instead of “Disk #” there will be number e.g. Disk 1 or Disk 0.
4.If the Disk # has a * (asterisk) in its GPT column hingê ev disk has a GPT partition style. Whereas, if the Disk # doesn’t
have a * (asterisk) in its GPT column then this disk will have an MBR partition style.
