Try & Decide - GPT or MBR Formatting
I just upgraded to Acronis 2014 and wanted to use the Try & Decide feature but it stated that my drives are GPT.
Should I go back and reinstall Windows 7-64Bit with MBR formatting instead? I just let the Windows setup handle the formatting so I wasn't aware that it was GPT.
Is Try & Decide worthy and is it worth reloading my entire machine in MBR formatting? Or I may just stick to using a Virtual Machine for testing.

Agree, keep GPT.

Stick to using a virtual machine for testing. It's not worth sacrificing Secure Boot for Try&Decide. Also GPT gives us the ability to boot from larger disks (over 2TB)

Thanks for the feedback everyone. Looks like i'll stick to GPT for the 2TB limit, and the virtual machine can be tested on without worrying.

Oops , Secure Boot is for Windows 8 onwards only. Yes, MBR has limitations
