The SharePoint 2010 Master page uses the technology in ASP.net 2.0. Through this function, the layout of the page frame and the actual content are separated. Although the process of customizing a master page in nature is roughly the same as that of previous versions of SharePoint, there are still many important changes from 2007 to 2010 that warrant our attention.

Types of SharePoint 2010 Master Pages
First, let's take a quick look at the type of master page in SharePoint 2010:
V4.master
The default master page for the team site. Provides changes to the ribbon and other user interfaces.
Characteristics
Web site operations are updated in 2010. Now put it on the left.
The Ribbon is available.
Default.master
Use this master page from a SharePoint 2007 upgraded Web site unless we manually change to the V4 version.
Characteristics
SharePoint 2007 version of the site operation on the right
There are no functional areas.
Minimal.master
There's almost nothing in the master page. Pages that are typically used to search for centers and Office Web applications. This master page should not be confused with the simplest custom master page that the developers in 2007 have trimmed themselves. Minimal.master is now an out-of-the-box master page. Custom master pages that are trimmed in SharePoint 2010 usually refer to starter master pages.
Characteristics
Do not include navigation
Starter Master Page
SharePoint 2007 is often referred to as the minimal master page. These master pages are often created by developers to quickly start customizing the master page and, based on its expansion capabilities, make the master pages that are actually needed.
Simple.master
This master page is used in the login and error pages. To customize this page, you must replace the corresponding paging file that is stored in the server _layouts directory. For more information, refer to the article on MSDN, "default master page in SharePoint."
