I've never seen a disk management program like
that. Usually Extended is an explicit option. Extended
is an empty Primary that can hold any number of
Logical partitions. It looks like Easus is hiding the details
in an attempt to simplify.


From this answer and all the others, I'm convinced of that now.

It's nice to be simple, but if they had put one short entry in their
help file (and they have a standard help file) under Extended.

To simplify things, we have eliminated the need to create
extended partitions. Just make logical ones and we'll fill in
the rest.


That would have helped.

It then fills the Extended
with the first Logical you make, which makes no sense.
There's no point in have an Extended if it just holds
1 Logical. The only option I can think of is to then
resize your Logical and put another Logical next to it.
