I followed the answers for a very similar question but all links on the answers are broken

My understanding is that attaching another disk would not help and that I need to resize the OS disk, but all the references I found to do so are not current

I even tried

PS C:\Users\mreyesgomez> az vm deallocate --resource-group NGC-AML-Quick-Launch --name ABC-Tester
PS C:\Users\mreyesgomez> az vm update --resource-group NGC-AML-Quick-Launch --name ABC-Tester --set storageProfile.osDisk.diskSizeGB=100
BadRequestError: (ResizeDiskError) Managed disk resize via Virtual Machine 'ABC-Tester' is not allowed. Please resize disk resource at /subscriptions/ab221ca4-f098-422d-ab2f-5073b3851e68/resourceGroups/NGC-AML-QUICK-LAUNCH/providers/Microsoft.Compute/disks/ABC-Tester_OsDisk_1_1b06eb4fe5bb48c9bd45bb54817c4d8f.

And as you can see it did not work

I looked for the above path (/subscriptions/ab221ca4-f098-422d-ab2f-5073b3851e68/resourceGroups/NGC-AML-QUICK-LAUNCH/providers/Microsoft.Compute/disks/ABC-Tester_OsDisk_1_1b06eb4fe5bb48c9bd45bb54817c4d8f) on the portal but the Resource Group does not have any providers tab

    Nevermind, I found the resize option for the disk on the portal
