Accidentally converted basic disk to dynamic!

[CriticalError]

Hello All,

So I was trying to extend a HDD and a popup appeared about the disk becoming dynamic I thought it was referring to the free space disk, meaning the the free space disk would first become dynamic then it would be extended on the HDD. But no it converted the whole HDD to dynamic!

Now windows loads everything OK. The drive this occurred on is the data drive which stores all programs (most of them, not OS, OS in on SSD) and users data. All data is backed up. However I really do not wish to backup and restore would be a big hassle. Any way to convert back to basic without losing data?

Saying that what is the consequences of making the disk dynamic? (I mean if no difference from basic I could just leave it).

I'd backup your data just to be safest, but there is a non-destructive option here to Convert a Dynamic Disk to a Basic Disk
