You've just upgraded your system and are considering switching from an MBR to a GPT partition. It's a good question—switching can improve stability and compatibility, especially if you're using newer Windows versions. However, keeping it on MBR might be simpler for older systems or if you're not planning major changes. Think about your needs and the type of hardware you're using.

A new installation is recommended since your Windows 10 is actually a Windows 7 upgrade. Fresh installations are generally preferable over upgrades.

You don't need to perform a full clean install. Your existing setup can be updated with the system utility named mbr2gpt. Advantages? Minimal impact. In certain scenarios, it may slightly improve startup speed.
