1. Why cannot I clone a dynamic disk?

The reason why you cannot directly clone a dynamic disk is that the target disk is a basic disk, and most cloning software cannot directly switch a basic disk to a dynamic during the cloning process.

So to clone a dynamic disk, you need to first convert the target basic disk to dynamic. Then, turn to disk cloning software to clone the dynamic disk.
