GPTGUID partition table (GPT) is an updated hard-disk formatting scheme that enables the use of newer hardware. GPT is one of the partition formats that can be chosen when first initializing a hard drive, prior to creating and formatting partitions.
Hyper-VHyper-V is a server role introduced with Windows Server 2008 that lets you create a virtualized computing environment. Hyper-V can also be installed as a Windows feature on Windows client operating systems, starting with Windows 8.

MBRMaster Boot Record (MBR) is a legacy hard-disk formatting scheme that limits support for newer hardware. MBR is one of the partition formats that can be chosen when first initializing a hard drive, prior to creating and formatting partitions. MBR is in the process of being replaced by the GPT partition format.
Proof of concept (PoC)Confirmation that a process or idea works as intended. A PoC is carried out in a test environment to learn about and verify a process.
