Issue: Compmgmt.msc show Dynamic Disk instead Basic Disk
Question: Will Dynamic Disk on SSD will boot ?

URGENT answer, I have to setup the new SSD tonight


PS: What I remember is Dynamic is for RAID normally, but I do no want raid but AHCI

I think it been converted in DYNAMIC by the last part, SSD_HP.
I used O&O Disk Image To save and restore Disk Partition.
O&O Wouldn't let me create the last partition SSD_HP, so I did by compmgmt.msc

Dynamic disks are to be avoided.

That picture is of your current non-SSD hard drive? Or the SSD?

It's not clear to me what you want to do.

Post a new screenshot of complete Windows Disk Management rather than a cropped picture, so we can see the relevant info.

You can convert dynamic to basic, but it puts your data at risk. I think Partition Wizard can do it.

But more clarification and screen shots needed.

Finally, I found the issue. About compmgmt.msc picture. Yes it was only this ssd in question and not my computer. So there is why the screenshot wasnt full. I had to prepare ssd to sell it to someone.
So the error was the partition called System, So yes the fourth partition converted the disk in dynamic.
I rebuilt the ssd with only 3 partition and all were ok.
My solution with partition wasnt very effective because finally it was a laptop modified.
I didnt had the original C: / Finally i didnt restore factory default, I just installed a windows and all worked fine.

Sorry for my bad english many answer I found by myself. Thanks for reading. The issue is resolved because the laptop run as a rabbit now :D
