  1. Convert to Dynamic Disk option is faded in Disk Management


    I just installed Windows 11 using a USB Flash Drive on my Dell Vostro 3710. My PC came with Windows 11 pre-installed and a single SSD but it was running slow, so I decided to start clean. Before starting fresh, I opened Disk Management and when I right-clicked on Disk 0, I noticed that the option Convert to Dynamic Disk was clickable. Then I closed Disk Management and booted my PC using the USB Flash Drive and clean-installed Windows 11.

  3. Convert a dynamic disk into basic disk

    Hello guys!

    Today I need your help because if not then I'll be in danger. Now what happened is that I was trying to split a E drive in disk management tool. So when I did so it gave me a warning message saying that the disk will be a dynamic one and that the PC will not be able to boot from it if it is a dynamic one. Now I thought that the new drive I'm creating will be the dynamic one and I knew that my Windows (8.1 Pro) is installed in C drive. And I clicked yes. Then, all the disks were converted into a dynamic one. I don't have the option to convert the dynamic ones into basic ones again. So please help me fast before I reach my DOOM!

    Thanks in advance!
