Practice question 130 of 506 · easy

A VM's VHDX was expanded from 100 GB to 200 GB. Windows still reports its volume as 100 GB. Which step is still required?

Choose the single best answer.

  1. A.Run Optimize-VHD to compact the file and assume its partition doubles
  2. B.Set a larger VHDX block size as the partition-extension mechanism
  3. C.Create another differencing disk and assume Windows merges the free capacity
  4. D.Extend the guest partition into the new unallocated capacity
Show the answer and explanation

✓ Correct answer

  • Extend the guest partition into the new unallocated capacity

Disk capacity and partition size are separate, so extend the guest partition. Optimize-VHD reclaims eligible physical file space rather than extending a volume. Block size is not a partition-extension operation, and another differencing disk adds a dependency rather than growing the guest filesystem.
