There is no software to resize a partition on dynamic disks. Acronis
Disk Director claimed on his website that dynamic disk is not supported.
Paragon PM said it supports dynamic disk, however dont get confused.
Paragon only supports to copy dynamic disk, revert the file system of
dynamic disk, convert dynamic disk to basic disk... not to resize
partition directly on dynamic disk.

Dynamic disk is sort of an intricate and difficult problem in disk
management. Actually to resize the partition on dynamic disk, there are
two ways. One is to delete a partition on dynamic disk, then build
spanned volume with the c drive to extend partition. If not, then you
need to copy the whole disk on a basic disk(or you may also try Paragon
PM to convert dynamic disk to basic disk, however it looks like 10%
chance of crash. If you did backup, then it is okay.)

The resizing partition on dynamic disk should be transferred to the
basic disk. It is the rule. Once the dynamic disk turned out to be the
basic disk, then you can resize the boot partition on the basic disk,
which is of no data loss. May I recommend a detailed step by step
tutorial to resize partition


Good luck.
