I recently moved to a Dell Inspiron 13-7359 with 250gb SSD, running Windows 10 fully up to date. I have created a partition (MiniTool Partition Wizard) on which I place all my data to make it easier to find, backup, and transition to new computer.
PROBLEM: The partition I created is the 5th partition and it is a Primary drive. Macrium Reflect Free will not let me clone my SSD saying it has too many Primary drives. Neither MiniTool Partition Wizard nor AOMEI Partition tool will give me the option to change to a Logical drive. I think this has something to do with the fact that it is a GPT not MBR drive and the partition tools don't see the problem with having more than 4 primaries. Macrium does see a problem.
How do I change it to a Logical drive? Is there another program that will let me clone the SSD?
Any idea?
Please help.
Thanks!
I didn't find the right solution from the Internet.
