In order to get a new windows because mine is corrupt, i'd need to know if the partition scheme is MBR or GPT. Thanks

A hard drive can be formatted as either MBR or GPT once installed in a system.
That HDD can work with both GPT and MBR systems.

For an X64 build of windows 10 on a UEFI device (all modern computers), the HDD will be formatted and partitioned as GPT when you install windows.

If your new install of windows is 32 bit (which it is unlikely to be) you will use MBR when windows is installed.

The partition scheme is whatever you make it during the install.

For a 6TB OS drive, Win 10 UEFI, it must be/will be GPT.

im using this https://ark.intel.com/content/www/us/en/ark/products/59044/intel-desktop-board-dq77mk.html
so it would be GPT right?

okay.

That board will support both MBR and GPT devices, but it should be set as UEFI.

Just plug in the drive and install windows x64. It will partition the drive as GPT and install fine.
