Hello Friends!

Can someone please confirm to me once and for all if I'm correct with these
assumptions regarding debian installation on hard drives:

1.  If the hdd has an MBR partition style, that hdd needs to have a FAT32
partition, flagged as esp and with mount point at /boot/efi.  If this is
correct, can I put it anywhere on the hdd or must it be on the left-most
part of the drive (when looking at it in GParted) ?  Also how big should
the FAT32 partition be if, a) no Windows would be installed on the hdd, and
b) Windows will be installed on the hdd making it a dual boot system.

2.  If the hdd has a GPT partition style, there is no need for a FAT32
partition (that is flagged as esp and mounted at /boot/efi), unless of
course you would install Windows 10, making it a dual boot system, but even
then, Debian would not use or need the FAT32 partition.

Please confirm my assumptions and answer some of my questions (in number
one).

Thank you very much for your time!
