Turn dynamic disk into basic without losing/moving data?

Look at "Disk 1" on the screenshot. I need to change it to basic disk, one partition if possible and without moving or losing data.
The reason I want to do this is maybe this way I will be able to access it when I switch to linux because it doesn't let me access it. Pops an error.

Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit
Xubuntu 16.04 LTS 64 bit (xfce)

You need to copy the data from that drive before converting the disk.

Yes I know how to do it without any data or by erasing data on it.

I found this article http://www.partition-tool.com/easeus-partition-manager/convert-dynamic-disk-to-basic-disk.htm
so I thought it is possible without losing/deleting data, EaseUS doesn't seem like a scamming software.

By the way this is the error I get from Linux when I try to open the dynamic disk.

Partition tools may do it, but you still need a backup of your files, they are not totally reliable. You don't want to mess with disk structures with data that you want to keep.

Ok thanks. I will do it when I get an external HDD.
