Not really true, I have bios machines with gpt partitions. Booting Linux 
though, I have not tried with Windows.

Google says:

Can BIOS boot from GPT disk?
Can you use BIOS and GPT together? They can, provided that you have a 
boot loader capable of booting a system from a drive with GPT, and which 
fits into the space reserved in the legacy MBR. The legacy MBR is quite 
small, so fitting a boot loader that supports both MBR and GRP into that 
space would be quite difficult.31 Mar 2023
