How to Check MBR or GPT in Windows 10, 8, 7?

Geeks - To check whether your disk is using the MBR or GPT partition style in Windows, you can use the diskmgmt.msc utility. Here's how:

Open the Start menu and type diskmgmt.msc into the search bar.

Press Enter to open the Disk Management utility.

In the Disk Management window, look at the top of the lower pane to see the partition style (MBR or GPT) of each disk.

Alternatively, you can use the diskpart command-line utility to check the partition style of a disk. Here's how:

Open the Start menu and type cmd into the search bar.

Right-click on the cmd result and select Run as administrator from the context menu.

In the command prompt window, type diskpart and press Enter.

At the DISKPART> prompt, type list disk and press Enter. This will show a list of disks attached to the computer, along with their size, partition style, and other information.

If you're not sure which disk you want to check, you can use the detail disk command to get more information about each disk. For example, if you want to check the partition style of disk 2, you can use the following commands:

Copy code

diskpart

list disk

select disk 2

detail disk

This will show detailed information about disk 2, including its partition style (MBR or GPT).
