I’m adding my procedure here because it includes some useful screenshots. I found the basics of how to fix this on the VMWare knowledge base. The plan was to use Windows 10’s disk management tool to expand the original partition and merge in the new partition.īut the recovery partition was sandwiched between the original and new partitions, and couldn’t be deleted using the Disk Management tool: I needed to expand the disk, so I shutdown the VM, removed all snapshots, expanded the virtual HD to 120GB, and rebooted the VM. The VM was originally created with the default 60GB hard disk.
I had a Windows 10 VM, managed using VMWare Workstation Pro 12.
