Why each option
Converting a disk from dynamic to basic is a disk management task that requires using the Disk Management console, the built-in Windows GUI tool for managing volumes and disk types.
System Partition Manager is not a real Windows utility; this name does not correspond to any built-in Windows tool.
NTBACKUP is a legacy Windows backup utility used to create and restore backups, not to manage disk types.
Device Manager is used to manage hardware drivers and device properties, not disk partitioning or volume types.
Disk Management (diskmgmt.msc) is the Windows snap-in that provides full control over disk types, partition styles, and volume configurations. To convert a dynamic disk to basic, all volumes on the disk must first be deleted, after which Disk Management exposes the option to revert the disk type. No third-party tool is required for this operation on a standard Windows installation.
