So MBR is better for recovery? I mean that's what was written on screen

question: what should i do if i need to swap the SSD to GPT, but it doesnt highlight to change partitions? thx.

The real question is should you or should you not jusy store everything on the C drive? Like why create partitions at all - is it mandatory?

Correct me if I'm wrong because I heard from my friend. from what my friend said basically MBR are limitation of HDD storage which is he said if i have HDD with storage under 1 TB I choose the MBR and if i have HDD with 1-4 TB I choose GPT is that right?

The usb connection motherboard died on my Seagate external drive. But i took the drive out and put it in my pc. I used to store Xbox 1 games on it. So when i put the drive in. It is asking me what i want to do.MBR or GPT. So I was thinking of using that third hard drive as another boot drive so i can insta;; windows 7, windows 1, and Mac OS on it. I would do Linux, Ubuntu, or something called kali. But I do not know enough about those. I have never done a duel boot from windows before. So I am not sure which route to take.
