In case where Windows and Linux dual boot from the same disk, it is advisable to follow the method used by Windows, ie. The Windows limitation should be considered if the user wishes to boot Windows and Linux from the same disk, since installation procedure of boot loader depends on the firmware type and disk partitioning configuration. Such a limitation is not enforced by the Linux kernel, but can depend on which boot loader is used and/or how the boot loader is configured.

Tip: Windows 10 version 1703 and newer supports converting from BIOS/MBR to UEFI/GPT using MBR2GPT.EXE. Thus Windows only supports either UEFI/GPT boot or BIOS/MBR configuration. This is a limitation enforced by Windows installer, and as of April 2014 there is no officially (Microsoft) supported way of installing Windows in UEFI/MBR or BIOS/GPT configuration.
If Windows is booted in Legacy BIOS mode, it can be installed only to an MBR disk. if Windows is booted in UEFI mode, it can be installed only to a GPT disk. In general, Windows forces type of partitioning depending on the firmware mode used, i.e. If the value is Legacy, Windows boots in BIOS/MBR mode.

Very few recent systems pre-installed with Windows 7 are known to boot in x86_64 UEFI/GPT mode by default. MOST of the systems pre-installed with Windows 7 x86_64, irrespective of Service Pack level, bitness or edition (SKU), boot in BIOS/MBR mode by default.All systems pre-installed with Windows XP, Vista or 7 32-bit, irrespective of Service Pack level, bitness, edition (SKU) or presence of UEFI support in firmware, boot in BIOS/MBR mode by default.They do not support IA32 UEFI boot, x86_64 UEFI boot from MBR disk, or BIOS boot from GPT disk. Windows 8/8.1 x86_64 versions support booting in x86_64 UEFI mode from GPT disk only, OR in BIOS mode from MBR disk only.in which it boots ONLY in IA32 UEFI mode and ONLY from GPT disk. On market, the only systems known to ship with IA32 (U)EFI are some old Intel Macs (pre-2010 models?) and Intel Atom System-on-Chip (Clover trail and Bay Trail) Windows Tablets. They do not support x86_64 UEFI boot from GPT/MBR disk, x86_64 UEFI boot from MBR disk, or BIOS boot from GPT disk. Windows 8/8.1 x86 32-bit support booting in IA32 UEFI mode from GPT disk only, OR in BIOS mode from MBR disk only.They do not support IA32 (x86 32-bit) UEFI boot from GPT/MBR disk, x86_64 UEFI boot from MBR disk, or BIOS boot from GPT disk. Windows Vista (SP1 and above, not RTM) and Windows 7 x86_64 versions support booting in x86_64 UEFI mode from GPT disk only, OR in BIOS mode from MBR disk only.It supports only BIOS boot and only from MBR disk. It does not support x86_64 UEFI or IA32 (x86 32-bit) UEFI boot. Windows Vista RTM x86_64 (only RTM) version support booting in BIOS mode from MBR disks only, not from GPT disks.They support only BIOS boot and only from MBR disk. They do not support x86_64 UEFI or IA32 (x86 32-bit) UEFI boot. Windows Vista or 7 x86 32-bit (RTM and all Service Packs) versions support booting in BIOS mode from MBR disks only, not from GPT disks.Windows XP both x86 32-bit and x86_64 (also called 圆4) (RTM and all Service Packs) versions do not support booting in UEFI mode (IA32 or x86_64) from any disk ( MBR or GPT) OR in BIOS mode from GPT disk.Reason: UEFI/MBR is not supported by the Windows installer, but Windows can be manually deployed and booted in UEFI/MBR (at least Windows 10 can). Microsoft imposes limitations on which firmware boot mode and partitioning style can be supported based on the version of Windows used: Important information Windows UEFI vs BIOS limitations 2.3.4 The EFI system partition created by Windows Setup is too small.2.3.2 Cannot boot Linux after installing Windows.2.3.1 Couldn't create a new partition or locate an existing one.1.5.1.3 Enable Fast Startup and enable hibernation.1.5.1.2 Disable Fast Startup and enable hibernation.1.5.1.1 Disable Fast Startup and disable hibernation.1.3 Bootloader UEFI vs BIOS limitations.
