I accidently converted my boot drive from a Basic Disk to a Dynamic Disk when playing around with resizing partitions. Now the option to convert a Dynamic Disk to a Basic Disk is grayed out.

Are there any disadvantages of my disk being a Dynamic Disk instead of a Basic Disk? My partitions are now Simple volumes instead of Primary Partitions, but the system seems to work normally.

Can I change it back?
