Remove Disk - Windows 11 VM

Shades316 — Tue, 07 Jun 2022 18:25:36 GMT

How do I remove a disk from a Windows 11 Pro VM with TPM and encryption?

Option is greyed out and cannot modify config file as it's encrypted.

Would also like to move another disk to different storage.

AFAIK the only way to do is that is to decrypt the VM first.

Have some patience - we have some regular users who already tried that.

Found a Python script in another thread which let me edit the VMX file which has let me do what I need.
