[SOLVED] Installed Windows 10 as MBR... not GPT. Is this a problem?

[Pijmzhchus]

So I did a clean install of Windows 10. Seems to be running fine, but after some digging a found out that the OS is installed as BMR, not GPT. I have read that GPT is superior, but I really dont want to reinstall OS again. cant also boot in UEFI mode too, I think thats connected. Only thing I notice is that my pc boots noticeably quicker. Should I be worried? I Thanks in advance!

GPT is required for UEFI.

It's not critical. But for a new install, I'd probably redo it.

I don't feel limited by MBR. I have 250gb ssd and 1TB HDD and I'm not planing to upgrade to larger drive and I don't need that many partitions. I also have a benefit that the system boots quicker and the Bios stayed unchanged. Am I thinking wrong?

If it works to your satisfaction, leave it be.
