It's fine to convert the disk to Dynamic. It won't harm the database files. The standard to dynamic conversion doesn't modify formatting or mbr, just changes the options available for the disk to use.

i have provisioned a new LUN from the EMC for this server unfortunately its not showing in the attached picture.
The E Drive was already extended one time before.

If the storage you add is not contiguous, a dynamic disk will be your only option other than backing up the drive and restoring to a bigger lun...
I would do; stop the Exchange if possible, have a disk backup and then execute the extension.
