![]() This is a limitation enforced by Windows Setup, and as of April 2014 there is no officially (Microsoft) supported way of installing Windows in UEFI/MBR or BIOS/GPT configuration. If Windows is booted in Legacy BIOS mode, it can be installed only to an MBR disk. if Windows is booted in UEFI mode, it can be installed only to a GPT disk. In general, Windows forces type of partitioning depending on the firmware mode used, i.e. If the value is Legacy, Windows boots in BIOS/MBR mode. If the value is UEFI, Windows boots in UEFI/GPT mode.In the System Information windows, select System Summary on the left and check the value of BIOS mode item on the right.In the Run dialog type msinfo32.exe and press Enter.Press Win+R keys to start the Run dialog.The best way to detect the boot mode of Windows is to do the following : x86_64 Windows boot in x86_64 UEFI mode and 32-bit Windows boot in IA32 UEFI mode. Up to Windows 10, the firmware bitness matches the bitness of Windows, ie. ALL systems pre-installed with Windows 8/8.1, 10 and 11 boot in UEFI/GPT mode.Very few recent systems pre-installed with Windows 7 are known to boot in x86_64 UEFI/GPT mode by default. ![]()
