| | Welcome to the forum, You do not want to convert to dynamic. You need to convert it to a logical partition first, you already have 4 primary partitions. Read through this, Partition / Extended : Logical Drives Post back with any questions you may have, or steps to take. |

| | Hint: be very careful. Read the tutorials & ask questions. Do you have any imaging program and an external disk? Always good to have access to a complete backup (or clone) in case something does not go according to plan. As an absolute minimum, backup all your personal files. |
