    So I tried to use utility AOMEI Partition Assistant to convert it back to GPT but I get prompt to this screen and I am afraid to choose wrong and all data lost.

    To Expand a partition to the left you should use a disk partition software (Aomei or MiniTool partition). Playing with partitions is a risky task. You should always do a backup first.
    I assume you didn't do a disk image backup.

    I never converted a dynamic disk and I don´t have the Aomei Dynamic disk converter.
    It seems to me that Aomei Method 1 is the way to go.
    Use it at your own risk.
