Hello! If a provisional patent is not converted into a non-provisional patent after a year, can this still be done at a later date with some legal disadvantage in the meantime; or is the whole process reset to zero and a new application would need to be filed?

A provisional Patent is filed to secure the priority date. If within the specified time frame, the complete specification is not filed, the priority lapses and the submission of a complete specification on a date later than the specified time frame will be then counted as the priority date. The only disadvantage that you face is the lapse of priority date.
