Some users may encounter the following problem:
There are four primary partitions in the hard disk. However, the fifth partition cannot be created. Because of MBR hard disk limitations, either up to four primary partitions or up to three primary partitions plus an extended partition can be created for each basic MBR hard disk. If you want to create more than four partitions, you need to convert one primary partition to logical partition first.
With the help of partition manager software - EaseUS Partition Master, you can easily convert primary partition to logical partition without data loss.
How to convert primary partition to logical partition
Download and install EaseUS Partition Master on your computer, then follow the guide below to convert your primary partition to logical partition with ease.
Step 1: Download and run EaseUS Partition Master.
Step 2: Right-click the partition you want to convert to logic and choose "Convert to Logical". After that, you can find the pending operation is in the upper left corner.
Step 3: Click the "Execute 1 Operation" button and then choose "Apply" to begin the conversion. Please note that reboot is required for this operation. So save the crucial files in advance.
