Hi, I have a hybrid tablet/laptop which has an internal 60 gb drive running windows 10. This drive is getting quite full and I was thinking of using an external usb stick as extra storage. I would like to expand the internal hard drive with the external in raid. I'm no expert but some googleing learned that this should be possible. I learned that for setting up the raid the internal drive should be a 'dynamic' drive. In disk manager i get the option to do this but I get an errot message saying that there is not enough space on the disk. Can anyone help me to solve this or is there another better way to extend my storage? Thanks

You may attempt to use Windows storage areas (provided you have Windows 8 or later installed). I'm not sure if this is supported with USB flash drives.

I attempted the process before encountering the error about the group not being created. The issue seemed linked to a dynamic drive not functioning properly.
