  You are right! Thank you.

   What advantage would there be for me to convert to GPT?
(Which would involve removing everything fro the drive first, so no
dual boot setup)

What do you mean by "hybrid table for Msw"? (What is "Msw?!)

When you say "which I have done several times with Mageia" I take it
you mean giving the whole drive (thus  ditching Windows) to the Mageia
installer to re-format to GPT, instead of the 'legacy' MBR partitioning.
