I know how to do it but the dynamic drive that I want to change is the drive that has my OS. I can't clone it using AOMEI since it doesn't detect dynamic disks. Are there any other way than paying for applications like Mini Partition Wizard? Btw the dynamic disk is an m.2 ssd that I cloned from my old hdd
 
Solution
Assuming that your dynamic drive is not one member of a set, then you should be able to convert it to basic simply by changing its partition ID from 0x42 (dynamic) to 0x07 (NTFS).

You can use a tool such as DMDE (freeware disc editor).

You will find the partition ID in sector 0.
