I'm using an OEM 64 bit Windows 10 disc. The HDD is a Western Digital 4TB black series; it is the only storage drive in my build right now. Mobo is Maximus VII Hero.
I didn't think the HDD would default to mbr during installation, but it did. I could not change the setting in the disk manager; the option was greyed out. Resetting the OS through settings did not allow me to do anything, so I tried to change the boot order in the bios to UEFI disc drive as the first option and then I reinstalled from the disc. This also did not work.
I've run out of ideas. I really don't want my 4TB drive to be restricted to 2TB. I don't have anything on the drive aside from windows right now, so I can reinstall, but I don't want to do it again unless I'm sure this problem can be solved.
I would rather not use third party software, but if I have to, I might.
