I just installed Win8.1 on my PC, but I see the (SSD)disk which contains the OS, is an MBR disk. As far as I know, I chose GPT everywhere I could choose, so windows itself must have chosen to make the disk MBR. Does this in any way affect performance? Either way, I guess GPT is just better and more futureproof than the prehistorical MBR which dates back to the 80s. And next to that, I'd like to use UEFI since it's to be a lot quicker than the classic BIOS. I could be wrong, but I believe EUFI would only work with GPT, therefore I need the disk to be a GPT one.
So I was wondering if I could just convert the disk to GPT. However, while 3rd party tools give me that option, Windows Disk Management does not. Thus I was questioning if there was a reason for this, and whether there could go something wrong, or if I could mess up my OS when I do this or not. I think it's rather strange that Win8.1, chooses to make an MBR disk rather than choosing the superior GPT. Any advice?
Cheers
