Resizing Disk for a Windows 10 Image only grows the Recovery Partition

[AlbertW1]

Hi,

i've installed Windows 10 in a 64 GB sized Harddisk. After some Updates through the insider Previews the space was limited (deleted previous Windows Version). So i resized the Disk to 96 GB (and forgot about it) within Parallels. Did nothing on the Windows side to use the larger Disk (not event take a look at the Diskmanagment).

Today i was also out of space, cleaned up and only have 15 Gigs left. Going to resize again, because Windows told me i only have 64 GB. But the Disk Size was 96 GB (i forgot about it, see above). But i resized to 128 GB. And again only 64 GB showed up in Windows. So i went to the Diskmanagement in Windows 10 (Build 10240 now), and surprise. I have a 64 GB Recovery Partition which i can't remove or resize. So i'm stuck to 64GB usable space.

What can i do?

"Fixed" this with EaseUS Partition Manager Free. But the main Problem seems still existing, why is Parallels growing the Recovery Paritition

I am so surprised why Parallels add the space to recovery partition. I have to tell you that you can not resize recovery partition unless you reinstall your computer. At that time you can extend the system partition and take free space from recovery partition.
