I have W 7 on SSD (C) Am in process of installing W 10 on secondary spinning drive. This drive has 2 existing partitions, Data 1 & Data 2.( 1 terabyte of data) I have created & named a 3rd partition 60 Gb"Windows 10".
During install of W 10, when I select W 10 partition it requests I convert MBR to GPT. I can use cmd disc part. Question : Am unclear whether this affects partitions Data 1 or Data 2 ? Request appears to be specific to the partition and not the drive.
Attch shows drive config prior to my creating W 10 partition.
