I actually checked that on wikipedia because I wondered if it
had to be GPT and it seemed to say MBR was supported?

That may work, but what's important is that it's not close to as
well-tested - Windows binds UEFI support to needing GPT. (Also, the
2.2T limitation on MBR makes GPT very attractive.)
