Heya!
I've just cloned my old 500 gb HDD onto a new 2tb HDD using sudo dd on a usb linux install and all the data is intact, but when I went to extend the partition in Windows 10 it shows the HDD as two separate disks, the actual HDD and the partition of the HDD that's my old data.
When I try and use Extend Volume on the disk shown as D: then it throws a warning about turning the basic disks into dynamic disks.
How should I go about extending the partition to be the whole of the 2 tb disk without messing anything up and/or losing data?
I'm sorry if the answer is painfully obvious, I'm famous for overlooking stuff right under my nose.
Edit: The command I used to clone the drive was "dd if=/dev/sdc of=/dev/sdd bs=100M"
Embedding a screenshot of my disc manager and the "two" disks I want to merge.
