Windows 7 dual boot 8.1 installation problem.
Hey guys,
So i have Windows 7 installed on my system and to create Windows Phone apps, i need to install Visual Studio 2013 on Windows 8 or higher.
So I've downloaded Windows 8.1 as an ISO-file and created a partition for it.
I shrinked my D: volume and created a simple volume, see attachment
The Samsung Volume is my External Harddisk so do not pay attention to that :)
Anyway, when i start the installation, i cannot select the volume I've created. It gives me a error saying that "Windows cannot be installed to this hard disk space. The partition contains one or more dynamic volumes that are not supported for installation."
So i went back to Disk Management and noticed that all my Volumes, in fact my whole Disk 0, is a Dynamic drive.
What do i do now?
I need Windows 8.1 so i wanted it to install it as a dual boot even though i am not a fan of Windows 8.
Thank you in advance :)
