Quite a few years back I bought a DigitalStorm PC (Vanquish 5 I think?), and just recently decided that I want to set up a dual boot with Arch-Linux and Windows 10.

Obviously I'd want to use and setup GRUB and Arch for UEFI mode b/c why on earth would I use BIOS mode. However upon checking, it seems that DStorm partitioned my Windows drive with MBR instead of GPT, meaning Windows uses BIOS mode instead of UEFI. Nothing can really be done about it at this point (besides wiping, repartitioning the drive, and reinstalling Windows, which I just might end up doing), but out of curiosity, I was wondering if DS still uses MBR on their newer machines instead of GPT?

Ah wait looks like Windows 10 might have a command that streamlines MBR -> GPT switching
