    So, I installed Ubuntu on my desktop and now I uninstalled it. I followed the steps which people were doing in various videos online. I want to make it like before. I have 145.43 GB of unallocated space which I want to merge with E drive like before. It is showing me this error and when I click yes, it showed me 'The selected GPT formatted disk contains a partition which is not of type 'PARTITION_BASIC_DATA_GUID", and is both preceded and followed by a partition of type 'PARTITION_BASIC_DATA_GUID'.

  2. Extending partition in Windows 10 raises "The operation you selected will convert the selected basic disk(s) to dynamic disk(s)"

    I installed Ubuntu 16.04 alongside Windows 10, however I had to remove it due to some bugs (related to Ubuntu, not Windows). I removed the Ubuntu partitions (279.25 GB) from Disk Management, and now I am left with the situation
    shown in the attached screenshot. I tried to extend the D volume by including the unallocated 279.25 GB. However when I try to extend it I get the warning message "The Operation you selected will convert the selected basic disk(s) to dynamic disk(s). If you
    convert the disk to dynamic, you will not be able to start installed operating systems from any volume on the disk(s)...." etc.

    Now, I do not want to convert the disk to dynamic, as I will probably install another Ubuntu distribution. How can I extend the drive D? Also, I don't know whether the 513 MB volume on Disk 1 (EFI System Partition) was created by
    Ubuntu or not? If yes, should I delete it?

  3. no audio on extended display

    Is your computer’s Operating System updated?

    How about your Audio drivers, can you check if it is updated and can support HDMI audio output?

    If your answer to those questions are yes, then you can check these steps to setup audio for your extended display:

    • Connect your laptop to the extended display using the HDMI cable.
    • On the lower right side of your task bar, right click on the Audio icon.
    • Select Playback device
    • If you don’t see your extended display (T.V) you can right click on a blank space on the Playback tab and select Show Disabled Devices and Show Disconnected Devices.
    • One your extended display (T.V) is showing, please check if it is enable.
    • Then Select OK.

    Do a test and check if the audio is now playing on the extended display, if issue still persists, try to restart your computer without removing the HDMI for both devices.

    Let us know how it goes.

    Extend drive size

    I want to extend my c drive size. I go to diskmgmt.msc and follow the steps. When I right click on drive c the extend capability is grayed out.

    I am running as admin, it is listed as NTFS, I have unallocated space on my d drive.

    Is the problem that I do not have space "after" my c drive. I am not sure what this means.

    How do I get space after my c drive ?
