Can't convert basic disk to dynamic disk

I am trying to mirror my c drive on my computer. I have tried adding a mirror (exact same model), and it just says "not enough space to complete this operation", but I have 260gb remaining on it! What can I do to possibly fix this?

 

Edit:

I have also tried shrinking the primary partition by 10gb. Didn't work either.

get a bigger drive?

Any Help is appricated! Please correct me if I´m wrong!

Sorry for grammer/spelling mistakes, but english is not my native language (it´s german in case you were curious) *expand to see builds*

 

Primary PC: CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 3600 | GPU: Crossfire Radeon 6870 + 6850 | RAM: CORSAIR Vengeance 2X16 = 32GB @ 3600MHZ DDR4 | MOBO: ASUS ROG STRIX B450-F | COOLER: COOLER MASTER ML360R | CASE: DEEPCOOL Matrexx 55 V3 ADD-RGB | PSU: GIGABYTE P850GM 80+ GOLD | SDD: CRUCIAL MX500 250GB |

Everything thats not colourful I haven't bought yet.

 

Secondary PC(Currently not operational): CPU:  INTEL Q8200S @ 2.33Ghz | GPU: GTX 750 ti / 760 | RAM: 4X2 = 8GB @ 800MHZ DDR2 OCZ Platinum | MOBO: ASUS P5E-VM SE | COOLER: Be Quiet! Silent Loop 280* | CASE: DEEPCOOL Matrexx 55 V3 ADD-RGB* | PSU: CORSAIR RM850 2019 80+ GOLD* | SSD: CRUCIAL MX500 250GB* | 

Everything marked with * is what I bought for the Primary PC and I'm just using it until I get all the parts.

Is this the only way? I bought these two drives together hoping I can mirror them.

To be able to mirror drives, you should ensure the second drive is clean from data. 

It is true since all the data on disk 0 will be written to disk 1

Yes it is. I have formatted it many times. It still doesn't work though.
