When you get to step 7, do you get the message that begins with "one or more of the operations...."?
Or do you get the message shown in your post 18?
Are you prepared, willing, and able to do a clean install?

Is your personal data completely backed up to some other drive?
Do you have a valid 25 character Windows 7 Product Key, probably found on a sticker somewhere on the PC?
What discs did HP supply with the PC?
Can you go into more detail about what happened with Partition Wizard 4.22? Did you get the same "This function is not supported....." as shown in post 11?
I've requested more help from others.
I don't know if anyone else can help. If not, you may have to do a clean install.
To do that, you will need an install disc. It's good to have one regardless. If you have Windows 7 64-bit English, go to this site:
Official Windows 7 SP1 ISO from Digital River « My Digital Life
Scroll down to the Home Premium area and download this file: X17-58997.iso
Burn it to a disc. You can install with the burned disc and activate with your existing Product Key.
I'd probably go to HP web site and download the Ethernet driver for your particular PC and put it on a USB thumb drive, a CD, or on your external. You will need it to reestablish an Internet connection if the Windows installation disc does not provide the proper Ethernet driver.
At this point, your choices are:
1: Hope someone else responds in this thread with a solution
2: Proceed with the EaseUS application
3: Do a clean install
In the meantime, download and burn that disc.
Just a question for clean instalment: If I do with win7 disc burn from link you suggested, will I lose any HP features. I have HP recovery disk though, I can use it anyway.
I do not want to go with EaseUS. I would rather wait for someone else's respond. f it will not work, I will go for clean install. Mean while I will burn a disk from link you suggested.
I forgot about HP recovery. You can always try that if necessary. Since you now have dynamic disks, I don't know how well it will work.
If you do a clean install, you will not have any of the "bloatware" associated with an HP installation. Most people would prefer that. The ISO file is Windows per se, and does not include the extra stuff HP may have put on your PC.
As far as I know, you should be able to go to the HP web site and download whatever HP features you think are desirable. I'd get the Ethernet driver for sure, before I did a clean install.
You need to find a more precise model number.
Look here;

Thanks mate :) I couldn't find ethernet driver but I able to find and download wi-fi driver. I have saved it on memory stick.
Win 7 is still downloading
