Explanation
GPT (GUID Partition Table) is required for partitions larger than 2TB. MBR (Master Boot Record) has a hard 2TB partition limit and supports only 4 primary partitions, making it unsuitable for modern large drives. GPT supports up to 128 primary partitions on Windows and theoretically up to 9.4 zettabytes per partition. GPT is also required for UEFI-based Windows installations. NTFS is a file system format, and EFS (Encrypting File System) is an NTFS encryption feature - neither are partition table types.
