Newest computers start up thanks to the newest (from 2015 onwards) UEFI boot system.
Older computers start up thanks to the old BIOS boot system.
This option is aimed at older computers starting up thanks to the old BIOS boot system (or new systems where the CSM (Compatibility Support Module) is turned on).
One common scenario is having your GNU/Linux distribution installed alongside Microsoft Windows. You decide to get rid of your GNU/Linux distribution and you remove its partition. Unfortunately in your next boot you get:
and whatever you try you are unable to boot either into GNU/Linux (that's correct because you have removed the GNU/Linux partition) or to boot into Windows.
This option lets you install a generic MBR code so that you can directly boot into Windows bypassing the grub remainings from your old GNU/Linux distribution.
(NOTE: This step is automatically skipped if your system only has one hard disk.)
You are prompted:What is the correct position, for this hard drive? Just select the right boot order position, for the prompted hard drive, according to your BIOS settings.
[SUCCESS] The Windows mbr was installed OK! :)
[ERROR] The Windows mbr was not installed. Something went wrong! :(
