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分区表) 和 MBR(主引导记录) 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.
在 Windows 3 中检查磁盘是否使用 MBR 或 GPT 分区的 10 种方法
确保创建一个还原点,以防出现问题。
Method 1: Check if a Disk Uses MBR or GPT Partition in Device Manager
1.按Windows键+R然后输入 输入devmgmt.msc 然后按Enter打开 装置经理。
2.Expand Disk drives then 右键单击磁盘 you want to check and select 属性。
3.Under Disk Properties switch to 卷选项卡 并点击 Populate button 在底部。
4.现在在“分区样式” see if the Partition style for this disk is GUID Partition Table (GPT) or Master Boot Record (MBR).

Method 2: Check if a Disk Uses MBR or GPT Partition in Disk Management
1.按Windows键+R然后输入 diskmgmt.msc 然后按Enter打开 磁盘管理。
2.现在 right-click on the “Disk #” (instead of # there will be number e.g. Disk 1 or Disk 0) you want to check and select 属性。
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.
这是 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.按 Windows 键 + X,然后选择 命令提示符(管理员)。
2.一一键入以下命令,并在每一条后按 Enter 键:
DISKPART
磁盘列表
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.
请注意: 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 然后这个 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.
