Cannot extend imported bootcamp windows 10 disc

I imported my instance of windows 10 bootcamp partition in VMWare Fusion 8.1 because I want to start running it practically, but when I created the partition boot camp of origin I did hilarious small (40 GB). I need to resize on the rise... but... the disc size already reports that this is the size of my Mac drive and it wont let me not reduce it from the interface of VMWare - it will only allow me to extend upward.

Screenshot 2016-02-19 08.32.01.png

Instructions say open the virtual machine itself and expand the partition... but this option is grayed out when I right click on the drive in windows 10, perhaps because it seems that it is to see the other drives on the hard drive to the mac (but this is an instance of boot camp imported , does not not out of boot camp).

Screenshot 2016-02-19 08.36.25.png

I found an article intended for XP users who suggest to delete the virtual machine mac partition but this idea frankly gives me the willies directionless some more recent.

Any ideas what to try? I'm having a devil of a time finding useful documents...

Thanks for your help!

Hello

It is not a stupid question.

If you import the virtual machine that you mentioned your disc looks like always on when it is running under bootcamp.

So your virtual disk is exactly the same as the before done physical disk structure. I don't know why VMware engineers went this way, but my best guess would be that it makes the import/clone of a virtual machine that is less prone to error.

I don't have the exact steps to make sure that the disk you are using is indeed not a bootcamped score more. If you have removed the bootcamp on your machine and may still start the virtual machine then that would be a good indicator that it is indeed an imported VM. Other signs are the size that the virtual machine is on your machine. If running as a training camp for the size is tiny as the virtual machine should only have meta data pointing to the real disk.

Before you do anything, make a backup of your virtual machine on an external drive, so that you have something to fall back on.

FWIW, other people had the same problem, for example here, size of HARD drive on the Conversion of Bootcamp at VM , but if you're looking for there's more.

  • Video cannot be imported into Windows Movie Maker

    I downloaded a video on Youtube (I think .flv format?), but when I tried to import into WMM, it says that I didn't have the right codecs installed.  I then downloaded the K-Lite package (Basic), and when I tried again the new error message that displayed then try to import the video was "C:/___.mp4 could not be imported."  Simple as that, no explanation nor the details of error either.  I used the troubleshooter of codec through difficulty It Center of Microsoft and turned off three different codecs.  The error message remains the same.  No help at all for me?  I just need to install codecs more, or restart my computer?  I hope it's as simple as that...

    Convert .flv or .mp4 file to .wmv format and

    a. Click Start.

    (b) in the search box, type Device Manager.

  • Size of the window in the direction of the vertical screen - cannot extend

    Hello world

    I would use my monitor in vertical orientation to maximize space when working with portraits. I am able to reverse orientation monitors very well with my video card software and have no problem of maximization of photoshop in the full vertical measurement of the monitor. However, even if photoshop completely fills the screen, I can't get the actual image window to fill the entire screen. The most I can get is complete filling in the horizontal and about 3/4ths of the vertical dimension dimension. If I try to extend the window vertically by dragging nothing happens. I know that the window is not locked, because I can move it and I can change the dimensions so it is less than the vertical ceiling. In essence, it seems that there is a LoadCluster of vertical size of the window I can not exceed

    I have attached a picture of what I mean. The scope of the whole photoshop window is my monitor in vertical mode. The Red arrows represent the extent to which I would like to extend my image window in photoshop interface. However, I can't do that, because there seems to be a limit to the vertical dimension of the window. Yet once again, the dimensions of the window is not locked, since I can change it as long as the vertical size is below this limit.

    Anyone know if there is a way around this problem and fill in the field with my image? Or is it just an unfortunate whim of photoshop CS4?

    Thanks for any help!
