    I upgraded my windows 8.1 VM to windows 10 using build 10240. The VM disk size was set at 64GB during the upgrade. Everything is working well but I went to expand the disk to 96GB via the configuration panel in Parallels 10 and found my Windows 10 disk was still set at 64GB. I looked at diskmgmt.msc and noticed the windows 10 recovery partition had grown to 32GB. There is no way for me to resize that partition then grow the windows 10 main partition. I resized the disk back to 64GB and the recovery shrunk back to 0.5GB.

    Is this a bug or am I doing something wrong?

    Spam response aside, I figured it out. I just needed to delete the recovery partition via diskpart command.
