How to Convert Dynamic Disk to Basic Disk without Data Loss?

-----------------------------------------------------------
According to Microsoft, to convert a dynamic disk back to a basic disk you have to delete all volumes from the disk and permanently erase all the data on the disk. Thus, you have to back up these data before converting. But in this tutorial method, 3 can convert dynamic disk to basic disk without data loss.

Method 1. Convert dynamic disk with Disk Management (start from 00:00:57)
Method 2. Convert dynamic disk with CMD (start from 00:02:07)
Method 3. Convert dynamic disk without data loss—AOMEI Partition Assistant (start from 00:04:36)

We are very sorry that there is a mistake in the video,
if you are converting a GPT dynamic disk to basic with Partition Assistant then it will cause data loss, but for an MBR disk, it will not.
So if you are converting the GPT dynamic disk please backup your data in advance.
And the feature "Convert Dynamic Disk to Basic" is only available in the Pro version.

Years later and method 3 still works wonderfully. Went ahead and bought it too because you guys saved me *so* much time correcting my mistake on my OS drive. Note for those wondering why they might want to convert a dynamic disk to a basic one: The MS dynamic disk function disables TRIM functionality of SSDs. That's a 'fun' gotcha that you wont notice until you're hours or days in to whatever project you're on.

nice you download trial but still use pro version and oops cant do it with demo version. Should have told us that! Thanks for nothing

Cant do it with demo. False advertisement.

Method 3 can't work until you guys have License key.. She is using license version afterward so she was able to commit changes .. That premium option you will not get on demo version .. So keep this point in mind !!
