When computer users operate primary partitions, they may be turned into simple
volumes. Though the operating system can still work normally in this circumstance, yet
for those who use basic disk habitually, it is really a big trouble. To convert simple
volume to primary partition, many users are forced to repartition disks. Obviously, it is
not good since repartition disks will lose important data. Then is there any way to convert
simple volume to primary partition directly?

Methods to Convert Simple Volume to Primary
Partition

The essential difference between simple volume and primary partition is simple volume
is a kind of dynamic volume created by dynamic disks, while primary partition is a kind
of basic volume created by basic disks. Therefore, it is impossible to convert them
directly. However, you can try it indirectly. Since they belong to dynamic disk and basic
disk respectively, you can achieve the conversion between simple volumes to primary
partition through converting the two kinds of disks.
To convert dynamic disk to basic disk, you may quickly think of using the disk
management tool in the operating system. With it, you can easily convert basic disk to
dynamic disk. Also there is no data loss in the process. However, this process is
irreversible, which is to say you can not use it to convert dynamic disk to basic disk
without any data loss or security problems. If you want to do it this way, first you should
eliminate all simple volumes in disks, and then you can execute this operation. Or
the"Convert to Basic Disk" option of the disk management tool will be in a non-
operational state.

If this method is not workable, is there still a solution? Indeed, you need not worry, since
most of partition magic on the market can help you accomplish this task. The principle
they use is to convert dynamic disk to basic disk. But out of consideration of disk data
security, we recommend you use highly reliable MiniTool Partition Wizard.
