Hello guys,

I tried all the tutorials and nothing, every time I try to create a new volume it appears "the volume size is too small for the selected file system".. I have windows 10 because my system doesn't suport windows 11 update..

Please, help mee...

Answer 1

You have dynamic disk, so new basic partitions cannot be created. See https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32...

You may use third-party tools to convert disk back to basic.
