Step-on-step guide on how to create new simple volume

Let's create new simple volume

Creating a simple volume in Windows can be on both a basic disk and a dynamic disk. If you want to create a simple volume on a basic disk, then you can get a primary or logical partition. However, this type of volume is relatively difficult to increase.

As for creating a simple volume on a dynamic disk, it will not be difficult to change its size and, in this regard, it will be relatively flexible. To expand the volume to unallocated space, you must format it with the NTFS file system.

A simple volume can also be expanded to another dynamic disk in the same area of the computer, and it becomes spanned by expanding it to one or more disks. After expanding the volume, it is impossible to delete any part of the spanned volume; only deleting the entire volume will be available.

Note that earlier operating systems, such as MS-DOS, Windows 95, 98, Windows Millennium Edition, Windows NT 4.0, and Windows XP Home Edition cannot support dynamic disk.
