Windows allows conversion from basic (MBR/GPT) to dynamic without data loss, but (data loss). This asymmetry makes dynamic disks a somewhat risky commitment. Moreover, converting a GPT disk to dynamic does not change its partition table; it simply adds the LDM database. Conversely, an MBR disk can be converted to dynamic and then later to GPT only by deleting all volumes. gpt disk vs dynamic disk
is a disk type in Windows that allows for advanced volume management across one or multiple physical drives. ITOpsTalk 5:12 Show all Feature GPT (Basic Disk)
