Win 11 ARM not enough storage space

[felsensepp]

Hello,
I have installed VMware Fusion 13.0.2 with windows 11 for ARM on my MacStudio. Unfortunately I did not find anywhere the possibility to allocate more than the 64 GB memory space to the windows 11.
Increasing the disk size in the preferences unfortunately does nothing. Even though I increased it to 80 GB, windows 11 only shows 63.8 GB.
Am I doing something wrong or is this a limitation of Windows or VMware Fusion?
A nice greeting from Switzerland
Hans

I assume that you are looking to increase the virtual disk size from the default of 64GB to 80GB after you have installed Windows.

Resizing the virtual disk from the Fusion GUI does not automatically resize the disk partitioning in the VM to reflect the increased physical disk size. That can be done by:

• Using Disk Management in the Windows VM to delete the Recovery partition and then expand the volume containing the C: drive, or
• Use a third party utility to move the recovery partition, then expand the volume containing the C: drive.

There are plenty of web sites out there that can guide you on this. If you come across any that recommend the use of a bootable gparted live ISO, ignore it because the gparted Live ISO only works on Intel PCs, not ARM.
