How to change dynamic partition to basic without data loss

Kingshuk2003 · Jun 16, 2017

Well I right now have a Windows 10 PC
But qb64 (latest version of the good old qbasic) doesn't work well with Windows 10 so I thought about downgrade to Windows 7 sp1
But then it shows windows can't be installed on this partition the volume has Turner to dynamic now how can I change the dynamic to primary or basic without data loss

Back up the data. recreate the partition as basic, and restore the data.

Or get a 3rd party partition tool to do it, but you could still lose data - so they still tell you to back up your data first.

Any time you see or consider the words "change" and "partition" in the same paragraph...back up your data first.

USAFRet :

+1 to this. Always do a full back up before doing anything with partitions...no exceptions. I have had good luck with the free partition software GParted....you'll want the amd64 version.

I would just install Windows 7 inside a virtual machine if <B64 is all you will use it for
