For added security, Windows 11 will forgo the older MBR partition scheme and use GPT instead. That may require users to convert their older hard drives. Here is how to do it.

I have a 2TB MBR drive w/ W7 in the 1st partition. Partitions 2 & 3 are used as separate storage. I want to xfer all of that to a 4TB GPT drive including resizing the 2nd & 3rd partitions. Most of ...

This post explains what is MBR (Master Boot Record), GPT (GUID Partition Table) and which technology is better for your SSD.

The newer (GPT) standard solves some limitations of the older (MBR) standard. Here's how to tell which standard your drive uses.
