3 way to Convert GPT to MBR

In this Blog, We will discuss what is GPT and how to convert GPT to MBR.

What is GPT Partition?

GPT (GUID Partition Table) is the latest technique to partition of Hard drive with UEFI (Unified Extensible Firmware Interface) firmware. UEFI is the replacement of BIOS (Basic Input Output Systems).

GPT provides a Globally Unique Identifier (GUID) address to the hard drive.GPT is a new standard for the partition of Hard drives that is gradually replacing MBR because MBR supports a maximum of Partitions of up to 2TB whereas GPT supports a maximum of up to 18 Exabytes.

You need Windows Vista 64 bits or the latest version of the Operating system and a UEFI-based Computer that can be booted from GPT Partition. If you want to read GPT partitions you need to the minimum required Windows XP 64-bit Operating System.
