Question Old laptop with legacy bios, GBT or MBR does it matter?

Hello,

I am converting an old laptop into a home media server. I already did a clean windows 10 install on it and my HDD is set to MBR. My old laptop is a legacy bios, therefore non-uefi (confirmed using system information). I am running less than 2TB and using an HDD not an SSD.

Does it matter if my OS runs on an MBR HDD, or should I convert it to GBT?

Thank you.

Not under 3TB.
