Re: Install f26

Hello,

There is no Windows installed.
It seems that fedora installer does not give the choice.
According to what I read, to use EFI, I need replace the MBR by
GTP.
Fdisk cannot do it I need to use gdisk or gparted.

Question, can I keep the partition table the same and just
switch from MBR to GTP?

Thank.
