    Dynamic disk created in error...how to remove


    Somehow unintentionally I created a dynamic disk partition on what was my boot drive but is now intended to be my documents and pictures folder drive.

    How do I get rid of the first dynamic partition and change it to a normal partition to store my 'Documents" & "Pictures" folders for the new Win 10 Pro drive C:

    Windows (Drive C ) is running fine.

    trying to set the default location for Pictures and Documents to the original (C) now drive (D)...want only 2 partitions when fixed - "Documents" and "Pictures"

    Thanks...TiminAz

    :)

    Missing hard drive on Windows 10 upgrade from Windows 7

    Thanks, for the information. However, I already understand how to convert back to a basic disk. My problem is that I have data on the dynamic disk I need to remove. They are backup files from Windows 7 before I upgraded to Windows 10. For a reason I
    don't understand, Windows 10 doesn't see the dynamic disk. Windows 7 did. I assume Windows 10 will see the disk once I convert to basic. However, I'm not certain of that. Nevertheless, I need to restore the backup files before converting the dynamic disk
    to basic.

    What now? How do I retrieve my backup files before converting the disk to basic?

    Dynamic disk created in error...how to remove

    Hello Tim, *Smile

    If you like, you may be able to use OPTION ONE in the tutorial below to convert the disk from dynamic to basic again without losing anything. I would recommend to backup anything you don't want to lose on that disk to be extra sage though.
