Which command should you use to create a spanned volume in Disk Management?

To create a spanned volume in Disk Management, the command you would use is the option that specifies "New Spanned Volume." This command is specifically designed for combining unallocated space on multiple disks into a single logical volume. When creating a spanned volume, you select two or more physical disks and allocate space from each of them, which allows for more flexible storage management and efficient use of disk space.

Utilizing this command means you can effectively manage larger datasets that exceed the capacity of a single disk by spanning them across multiple disks, making it an effective solution for certain storage scenarios. By engaging this process, Windows will present the combined space as a single volume to the operating system, simplifying file management and utilization.

In comparison, the other commands serve different purposes. "Create Dynamic Disk" involves converting basic disks into dynamic disks, which is a prerequisite step but not the command that directly creates a spanned volume. "Add Volume" is not an available option in Disk Management for specifically creating spanned volumes and may refer to adding additional storage in other contexts. "Extend Volume" allows you to increase the size of an existing volume but does not create a new spanned volume. Thus, using "New Spanned Volume" is the appropriate action for
