00:00One of the most important concepts when comparing MBR and GPT is the relationship between partition style and firmware.
00:07Older computers commonly use BIOS firmware and boot operating systems from MBR disks.
00:13Modern computers commonly use UEFI firmware.
00:16UEFI is designed to work with GPT and provide the modern boot environment.
00:21So as a simplified rule, legacy BIOS commonly goes with MBR.
00:26Modern UEFI systems commonly use GPT.
00:29However, the relationship is not simply a rule that the disk and firmware must always match in every possible configuration.
00:37Firmware settings, operating system support, and compatibility modes can affect the actual boot configuration.
