Resize MSEdge Disk Space

Post by Ruedi007 »

Hi,

I installed MSEdge-Win10_preview .ova version into my Virtualbox via the import functionality. Everything works fine but the disc size of 40 GB is not enough for what I want to test. So I resized the disk with:

vboxmanage clonehd "virtualdisk.vmdk" "new-virtualdisk.vdi" --format vdi
vboxmanage modifyhd "new-virtualdisk.vdi" --resize 90720.

Now the virtual size is as I wish ~ 90 GB but within Windows 10 I still have the 40GB disk space. Any idea how I can solve this problem so I can use the 90 GB within windows?

Use Windows 10 partition manager (Disk Management) to change which parts of the disk Win10 "sees".
