Windows 10: How to convert a logical disk to a primary partition without data loss?

I need to convert a logical disk partition to a primary partition, but I also need to ensure that I keep the data on that partition. There is software licensing on that disk that needs to remain intact, so I'm not sure if I can back up the data that is on the disk, change the partition, then put it back without losing the licensing. Would it be possible to back up the data, repartition the disk, then put it back without losing anything? If not, is there an alternative way of doing this that will result in complete data retention?

unable to change unallocated space to primary partition or logical partition.

1) Are you able to view the unallocated 100 Gb memory space in the Disk management?

Yes, checked that before posting.

2) How exactly you are trying to change the unallocated space to primary or logical drive?

Open EaseUS Partition Master, highlight the unallocated partition. If it is a primary partition click on "Convert to logical" and if it is a logical partition click on "Convert to primary". Then click apply.

What about the question as to why, when I booted from the W10 ISO disk I was not given the option of where to install the OS? Thanks.

 

How to convert primary partitions to logical partition


I have four primary partitions (System, C: , D: , E: ) and some free space in my Win10 laptop. Now, I want to make create an extended partition which will hold C, D & E as logical partition. How can I do it without loosing data (i don't have a spare hard disk where I can backup the data).

 

Disk manager does not display correctly primary and logical partitions



I
recently discovered that disk management does not displays logical and primary partition correctly.

Even more weird is the fact that partition named 2,3 in the right are not labeled logical. They're PRIMARY. I don't know how did it end up like that, but one thing is for sure. Once I started to operate processes of this PC under linux OS it turns out that
in fact there is 1 extended partition as you can notice from right picture, but there's 2 primary partition inside extended partition.

So what's the issue you might ask?

I don't care what disk manager displays, I want to convert primary partition into logical ones(probably using powershell(just a guess))WITHOUT DELETING DATA.

I tried several 3rd party software to solve the issue like easeUs, resizer-free, PAssist_Pro, but all that app blocked the option of converting it.
