Product: HP Notebook - 15-da0352tu
Operating System: Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

 I watched a YouTube video of making a usb bootable pendrive of windows 10 using Rufus. Some people said that if you have gpt partition hdd then you should select gpt + fat 32 but when i use hp recovery manager it format my pendrive in mbr and fat32 partition. Is there any issue if we choose gpt with fat32 or NTFS while installing or after installing windows. Please reply and what should i choose mbr fat32 or gpt fat32 or mbr ntfs or gpt ntfs.

Hi:

 

For your notebook set up Rufus the way you see it in the illustration on their webpage.

 

Rufus - Create bootable USB drives the easy way

 

That will install Windows in UEFI mode so you can enable secure boot.

 

If you use the MBR partition scheme, the notebook runs in legacy mode and you will not be able to set the secure boot setting.
