Question: is gpt recognized by windows 7?
Answer: Well, you need to know that the GPT partition style is not recognized by all previous versions of Windows 7. It is recommended for disks larger than 2TB, or disks used on Itanium-based computers. When you try to boot your Windows 7 from a GPT drive, you must be using 64 bit Windows 7 and have a UEFI motherboard.
