If your computer is running a UEFI/BIOS then if your Windows system is setup as GPT then this limitation no longer applies. You can use larger discs but they would need to be partitioned into chunks of not more thatn 2 TB each because of addressing limitations within the MBR system. If you use a traditional Win 7 set up with an MBR structure then the maximum drive size you can access is 2 TB. Whether or not your computer can use HDDs of that size depends on how your computer is set up.
