I had, but I reread it and went for it. I just kept reading "partition" and not enough reference to "virtual disks", so I just needed to know it was the right direction. I chose to use the EASEUS application as it required the least amount of steps. Once I freed up enough space, it worked like a charm. What would have been nice was some specifics on what was needed in the way of free space. It was quite a bit of trial and error. But I got the job done and I'm in business again on the Windows side of things. This was by far the simplest method I had read about.

Thank you!
