    Windows 10 dynamic to basic disk


    My windows 10 diskI have only 1 disk has been converted to dynamic. Now i want to convert it back to basic so that i can dual boot it with windows 11. I have searched on internet about this, everything is about paid softwares and using cmd as administrator while using my cmd as administrator it doesn't allow to delete disk as it is the only disk on my pc and has c drive which contains the windows files. How do i convert it to basic? I reinstalled windows 10 to change it basic but nothing worked for me. Do you think installing windows again through bootable media will help to change it basic

    :)

    how to convert Dynamic disk to Basic disk without data loss ?

    Hi,

    The process of conversion is quite tricky but not exactly that complicated. Suggested safe is to have your data cloned and work on the clone instead of the original. This suggestions and steps were provided by one of the Microsoft Community Forum MVP's,
    John John__ in his response on this thread. Follow the steps carefully
    to be able to avoid data loss.

    I hope it helps. If you have any other concerns, don't hesitate to come back to us.
