Hi All

I've been trying to resize a VMs C drive, however its not updating. Does the data disk need to be detached first and will that cause any data loss? or what would be the steps in the portal as I've already resized it and it is not updating.

Thank you in advance

    Hi,

    Basic steps for increasing C: via portal are:

    • Stop the VM
    • Resize the disk to larger size, save
    • Start the VM
    • Connect to VM via RDP, right-click on Start--Disk Management
    • In Disk Management, right-click on C: -- Extend Volume, step through wizard

    When you are in the portal sometimes it will show the old size and you just need to click Refresh.

    If the above was helpful please click Accept Answer. If you are still unable to resize the drive, please let me know at what step the process is failing in a comment.

    Thanks.

    -TP
