So I have 3 storage devices on my system, a 120GB SSD with my OS on it and 500gb hdd and just two days ago I bought a 1TB hard disks, I moved some stuff around in my PC to the new HDD and ended up with two empty drives "Games (F ) and Disk (H)" on my old 500GB hard disk, so I decided to try to combine them.

So I deleted the H drive in disk management and tried to add it to games by extending it, I went through with it to find my hard disk has turned from basic to Dynamic and my drives turned to yellow colored simple drives on that hard disk

Now I'm not sure the difference between basic and dynamic disks or if this is normal or not, is there a way to turn it back into basic without having to format that drive?

Thanks!, in advance
