    Hi,
    I have an vritual disk of 75GB in my virtual W11 machine. Almost all the GB are occupied, so W11 crashes. Ik expand the disk from 75GB to 105 GB, but when i look in windows to my drive i have an partition of 75GB ( NTFS) and another partion of 30GB (EFI system partition) I can't extent the partion of 75 GB. See the images. What do i wrong? How can i expand my virtual disk. Or must i make a backup, make a new vm with 100Gb and restore the odl one?


    Thanks fot the answers,
    Fred Baltus

    Thanks, unfotrtunately i can not extend the volume to more then 75Gb, Maybe it comes because the 30GB partition is of type EFI?

    What curios is, is that windows 11 doesn't crash any more after the increase with 30Gb. Do you know an 3-party solution programm?
    Thanks and greetings to down-under,
    Fred
