Convert OS disk from dynamic to basic?

Post by X-Nemesis »

How do I go about doing this?

I do know how to change it via disk management but that requires transferring any data on destination drive to another one and then deleting partition and creating a new one which designates it as basic.

But how would I do this on the OS since I cannot delete the OS as I would need to reinstall with all my software? :confused:

I dont think you can go from dynamic to basic, think thats a 1 way street.
