Microsoft Windows Server 2016 for Dell EMC PowerEdge Systems Installation Guide
Choosing between partition schemes
NOTE: To change your partition
scheme from BIOS to UEFI and vice versa during POST, press F2, select Boot Settings, and press Enter. Change the value of
Boot Mode to BIOS or UEFI. For more information, follow steps 1–8
in the Install Windows Server 2016 by using the Dell LifeCycle Controller
section.
The main considerations for choosing
between the partition schemes are:- Hard drive size
- Operating system version
- Software tools used in the operating system
The MBR partition scheme is used across older versions of the Microsoft operating systems. MBR partitioning scheme supports a volume size smaller than 2 TB.
NOTE: GPT boot (UEFI boot)
is supported only on 11th generation of the PowerEdge
servers or later.
NOTE: Dell EMC recommends that
you use the GPT partition scheme as it is more flexible, supports
larger hard drive sizes, and has some features and recovery mechanisms
that are not available in the MBR partition scheme.
