While discussing partitions, there is something I've noticed and wondered if it was worth the discussion and if anyone has come across it or had issues?
Win 8 uses GPT, Win 7 uses MBR partitions.
Koitsu was kind enough to post this link in a topic:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GUID_Partition_Table#Windows:_64-bit_versions
Now x64 bit flavors seem to be fine.
What I was wondering if you have Win 8 installed and wanted to go back to Win 7, and all you had was a x86/x32 bit flavor of Win 7, would it create issues with the partition table or install if you were not aware of this?
I'm not quite sure if this is a hardware topic or a Microsoft topic, but as Microsoft has changed the rules, so to speak, thought it better talked about here due to it affecting the install; does it?
