Convert Dynamic Disk to Basic Disk without Data Loss [Solution] | LotusGeek
For those of you unfamiliar with the concept, the basic disk is used for primary logical drives and partitions and is the storage disk type most commonly used with the Windows operating system.
The Basic Disk provides a simple storage solution and allows you to create and delete primary and extended partitions, create and delete logical drives within an extended partition, and format a partition and mark it as active.
A dynamic disk offers features that are not possible on a basic disk. They allow for different volume types to be partitioned, such as spanned, striped, mirrored, and RAID-5. These disks generally offer more flexibility for volume management. Since the release of Windows 10, dynamic disks have become obsolete and are generally no longer recommended for use.
