It wouldn't be able to distinguish between GUID-formatted and MBR-formatted drives. The system would treat both as MBR-only based on the format detected.

I don't agree with that. The MBR is newer than the Bible. To find GPT drives, you can generate a bootable Windows 7 image in GPT mode using Rufus.

Following my installation mishap yesterday, yes, the installer for MBR identifies GPT drives but fails to install on them. That’s the case with version 10, I’m not sure about version 7.

Identifies version 7 in GPT mode that can be chosen during USB creation in Rufus.

It can be set up for them. It seems you may require help with your multi-boot configuration.

Think about it like this: in Disk Management, when you right-click on a drive, for instance.

He seems to not require it. I also faced issues with my Hackintosh; the file system became damaged on both Windows and macOS, making it impossible to restore from the backup server.

I was trying to use a GPT+MBR setup with FAT, but didn’t need or want the MBR part—just GPT alone. I figured it out, changed my old fat partition to HFS+J, and removed it in the Windows 10 installer. Now it works fine.

I'll likely review it again later to confirm.

It seems to fit correctly within the disk driver for Windows 7.
