How To Create Bootable Usb For Gpt Partition Windows 10

Giant companies are updating their systems to the modern day to be compatible with the software. Mac computer users GPT whereas Microsoft uses both MBR and gpt. In other words, they are called legacy and UEFI support. They are most likely used in the BIOS (Basic Input Output System) to boot the operating system.

The legacy BIOS has developed two decades ago, and although it had improved a lot since then, basically it was based on the structure of 16-bit processor mode. 1 MB addressable space, PC AT1 hardware dependencies, etc. Nowadays PC hardware platforms have had amazing changes and OS has also evolved from the early MS-DOS 1.0 to today Windows 8, Windows 10, and so on. But, as a Key component, BIOS in the whole system still keeps its original scheme without many changes for the past twenty years, which has become a serious obstacle for PC advancement. Thus, a new firmware structure was presented to meet the current powerful OS and hardware complexity, providing us a PC device with high performance and low power consumption.

In order to upgrade PC advancement, an initial effort to solve these concerns was made by Intel, defining a new BIOS firmware interface, called EFI (Extensible Firmware Interface) in Spring 2000 IDF (Intel Developer's Forum). EFI is viewed as a significantly improved replacement of the old legacy BIOS firmware interface making PC faster and more efficient. The EFI specification is now managed by the Unified EFI Forum and is officially known as UEFI (Unified EFI).
