Hello,english is not my native language, I am sorry for my bad grammar. I got an old laptop (2009 year). It does not recognize GPT at all.
I created a bootable usb stick in MBR and successfully installed the OS. However,after the installation,i cannot boot anymore to the drive,where the OS is installed,because the installer created a GPT partition by default. It is   not offering the choice of what kind of partition table to create. Even if booted in legacy, it still make only GPT partition table . There is no option in manual partition to set it to MBR.   
question: Is there a way to install this OS to a MBR only device?
Laptop model: Toshiba Satellite L550.
Bios: phoenix secureCore Tiano v2.20

UPD: i have solved my issue. You can close this thread.
