MBR or GPT? 😳 Which Partition Scheme Should You Choose for a Bootable USB?

🎙️ English Key Notes & Transcript

Some folks get super confused when they’re turning their USB stick into a bootable drive, thinking they have to make the stick bootable. But should it be made in MBR or GPT? Lots of confusion, so in today’s video we’ll talk about that. We’ll show you how to clear that concept. Here we have two things: GPT and MBR. First, you need to know why we use them. That’s why we use them. Got it? So GPT and MBR are set up. But the GPT we’re using here supports UEFI. MBR, on the other hand, supports legacy BIOS. Both are partition styles. Okay? And besides being a partition style. Both have their own advantages and disadvantages. MBR is the older scheme, GPT is the newer one. When it comes to supporting hard disks, GPT can handle larger capacities, whereas MBR tops out at just 2 TB. That’s exactly what you’ll see in this example. You’ll easily see the difference. So the question is: should we format the USB stick in MBR or GPT? That’s what we’ll cover in this video. We’ll talk about it. Okay? Suppose your ISO is 8GB, 10GB, 12GB, 14GB, or 16GB. It could be up to that size. Anything bigger than 50GB is unlikely. But when we format it. We get two options: GPT and MBR, and that’s where the confusi...
