Move bit about converting to Dynamic to after the Diskpart output (which doesn't include this step)

The specified command or parameters are not supported on this system. Still waiting for a proper solution. Windows is still behind the time. | |

Used diskpart to remove the recovery partition, but didn't experience boot issues like @IanBoyd

I used diskpart with the override command to force deletion of the Recovery Partition. I was then able to convert the disk to dynamic, and mirror it to another SSD as i desired. On the down-side, Windows blue-screened on the next boot because that partition was gone. Moral of the story: don't delete the recovery partition. Just wipe your disk and start over with a fresh install.

| Jan 9, 2016 at 4:58 | comment | added | Kenttleton | I agree, it is more difficult. A 3rd party tool would be best. I haven't used one that I could comfortably recommend though. Disk manager won't get past the EFI. That's why I posted info for diskpart. | |
