Increase the size. VDI DI VirtualBox 7

Yesterday, I faced a problem, my Windows 10 runs on VirtualBox has 1% remaining storage and I don’t know how to increase it at that time.

After being investigated on the internet for several hours, I finally got a solution (increase in size. VDI). Here I will share it with you.

• Open your virtualbox (I use VirtualBox 7 here)
• To increase .VDI, Open File> Tools> Virtual Media Manager

• On the hard disks tab, select your .vdi> attribute tab, you can change the size. For example, I will change from 32.91 GB to 33.91 GB
• Click Apply

• After its size is changed, storage/partition on your window will not be increased automatically. You have to do a few steps in your window manually.
• Run your Windows on VirtualBox.
• Open Computer Management> Storage> Disk Management. You can see 1 GB not allocated, which is obtained from 33.91 GB – 32.91 GB (which you previously configured in the Virtual Media Manager).

• Now click on the particular partition that you want to be an extension, for example I want to extend the partition C :, Right -click C:> Extend Volume> Next, determine the number of your space in MB> Click Next> Finish

• After that, your C partition size has increased successfully (before: 32.35 GB, after 33.86 GB)

The volume of extension of the problem cannot be clicked

If the volume extending button cannot be clicked (disabled), you must carry out several additional steps, is to delete the recovery partition.

• Open cmd on your windows (run on virtualbox) as an administrator
• Run:

reagentc /disable
diskpart
list disk
select disk <disk number>
list partition
select partition <partition number>
delete partition override
list partition

After you delete the recovery partition, open again computer management> storage> disk management. Extension volume must be clicked now.

Take the previous steps to increase your partition size (C :).
