3. ESP partition: EFI system partition (EFI, Extensible Firmware Interface), which is used to start the operating system using the efi bios computer system. Partition memory is used as a boot Management Program, driver, and system maintenance tool. If the computer uses the EFI system or the current disk is used to start the operating system on the EFI platform, we recommend that you use the ESP partition.
4. microsoft Reserved Partition (MSR): A Microsoft Reserved Partition. It is a Reserved Partition on a GPT disk. For example, you need to use these partitions when converting a disk to a dynamic disk.

2. CSM full name Compatibility Support Module is the Compatibility Support Module. It is a special Module of UEFI and provides Compatibility Support for systems that do not Support UEFI. Currently, Windows 8 fully supports UEFI, while Windows 7 64-bit does not fully support UEFI. Therefore, you must enable CSM for Windows 7 installation in uefi bios. Most computers can enable it automatically or manually, and a few computers can disable CSM forcibly.
