Windows 10: How can I extend basic disk volume moving storage space from dynamic disk?

Dear,


My computer has 500 GB HD space in total.


However, only 20GB is currently destined to "C:", a basic disk. A new volume, "D:", has 465GB but I cannot use that space to download programs and apps since the system automatically uses "C:" space.


How can I manage this situation? Is it possible to change these volumes from a dynamic disk to a basic disk? Or is it possible to switch some configuration that allows me to use dynamic disks to storage my downloads?


Thank you in advance.

Convert Basic Disk into Dynamic Disk

Hi Charbel,

It would be helpful if you mentioned the things that you have tried to do that failed so that we can skip those steps. You can follow the steps provided in the article:

a dynamic one. The instructions are also applicable for Windows 10. You can also check this article:

Ensure that you create a back up for your system as well.

Regards.

Looks like you'll need to go dynamic.
