OK, so I reinstalled in this order:
1. OpenSUSE 13.1 as a base fallback option in the case that Windows go bananas.
2. Windows 7 Pro as a default OS.
3. Windows 10 technical preview just to try.
I formed one main and one shell partition for Open SUSE, one system and one data partition for Win 7 and I intended to make one more for Windows 10. However then I probably misclicked and the disk I did this partitioning to converted to Dynamic. Now I can´t install the Windows 10 to the intended partition because the partition is on dynamic disk.
I am thinking about converting the disk to a basic one, what risks do I take? The intended software used is EaseUS Partition Master.
Is there a big risk of the conversion screwing something up?
Attached a pic, we are talking about disk 1.

UPDATE: Cannot in good conscience approve EaseUS Partition Master neither AOMEI Partition Assistent. By both, conversion of dynamic onto basic is paid function.

TBH, up to date I cannot really approve any of the so-called "free" programs. By all of them, conversion from dynamic to basic is paid. Crappy, if you ask me.
