    Hi,

    Over the past few weeks, windows has been putting up a message that it can't update itself because of a lack of Hard Disk space. I have increased the HD size in the configuration/hard disk screen to a ridiculous 500gig with windows 10 shut down but it makes no difference.

    Is there anywhere else I should be doing this?

    Thanks!

    Mac OS High Sierra
    Window 10
    Parallels 13

    Hi Arun,

    Thank you for your response. One of your colleagues emailed me a solution using the Command Prompt and running DISKPART. I then deleted the Recovery Partition and was then able to extend the C: volume on the Virtual Machine.

    So problem solved it seems as Windows has now managed to update itself.
