Windows 10: Adding a 2nd OS to my Laptop

I have an HP Probook 450 G1 and run a 64 bit W10. My Hard Disc "C" was 450 GB but I resized it to 300 GB via Paragon Manager and created a new 150 GB partition "F" which is "Unallocated".

It is my intention to run my old 32 bit W 7 OS on partition "F" but when I try to convert it using Disk Management , my only choice is to a "Simple" one but then I eventually get presented with a Warning as follows:-

The operation you have selected will convert the selected basic disc. If you convert the disk to "dynamic" you will not be able to start installed operating systems from any volume on the disc except the current boot volume.

Does this mean what I think it means ie. That I will not be able to run W 10 on "C" ? What does it mean please.

Funnily enough, it does not matter whether I click yes or no to the question on the drop down "Convert to a simple partition". Either way Disk Management will not let me convert this partition and I end up where I started ie With an Unallocated Partition

As you can guess, I am a bit clueless about what one can or cannot do with Partitions, so any advice would be welcome
