So this means that windows xp onwards will be using gpt for uefi? and windows 10 onwards (versions) will use mbr? Am I right?

To make things simple,

BIOS = MBR,
UEFI = GPT.

BIOS support a max of 4 primary partitions
UEFI support a max of 128 primary partitions

Your post says otherwise. All OS till windows xp uses BIOS / MBR mode.
From windows 7 onwards UEFI / GPT mode is supported.

This is the most important one for me
"While UEFI uses the GUID Partition Table (GPT), BIOS uses the Master Boot Record (MBR) partitioning scheme."

"While UEFI uses the GUID Partition Table (GPT), BIOS uses the Master Boot Record (MBR) partitioning scheme. "
