I note when researching Bitlocker that the system volume should be a basic disk - but another place states that the system volume and operating system volume must be simple volumes which can be either basic or dynamic. Can a Bitlocker basic drive be converted to dynamic after setup? And what is a good understanding of the advantages if so?

Hi, Only Basic volumes are supported. Refer to the "What type of disk configurations are supported by BitLocker?" section from the following artical: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ee449438(WS.10).aspx Regards,Magon Liu - MSFT

Thank you - I now find the drive configuration table easily!
