How Can I Recover Extra Space on My Azure Disk After Migration?
Asked by

I recently migrated a server using the Azure Migration tool, and the OS disk was set to 75GB during the migration process. The target Azure disk is a P10 tier with 128GB capacity, but Windows still shows only 75GB available and doesn't allow me to extend the disk size through the disk management tool. Is there a way to access that extra space?
Answers
To reclaim the extra space, you need to resize the disk in Azure first. After that, head to Disk Management to add the additional space you’ve allocated. Just remember to power off your VM before doing this and restart it afterward. That should let Windows recognize the extra capacity.

DiskDude77: I attempted to resize the disk to match the current tier, but it didn't help since I still see only 75GB. Do I really need to upgrade to a P15 tier just for some additional space?
