For those not aware of what a GPT hard drive is, ++ HERE ++ is an article that provides an informative overview.

To me, this paragraph was a little shocking: "Windows can only boot from GPT on UEFI-based computers running 64-bit versions of Windows 10, 8.1, 8, 7, Vista, and corresponding server versions. All versions of Windows 10, 8.1, 8, 7, and Vista can read GPT drives and use them for data — they just can’t boot from them without UEFI." I was also surprised to learn Windows 7 hard drives using MBR have an upper limit of 2 Tetrabytes per partition.
