  • 1.  C Drive needs expanding.

    Posted Mar 18, 2025 10:07 AM

    I'm not very savy with Windows, so be kind. I have a VM (Windows 11) running on a Mac Mini (Sequoia 15.3.2)

    And I use Steam for games.

    I just got a new game and tried to install it and got the error message "not enough space on the C Drive)

    My C Drive is currently 64 M with only 16 M free so how do I increase the size of my C Drive?

    Shut down your VM.

    Go to the VM's settings, open the Hard Disk settings, and increase the size of the virtual disk.

    Power on the VM. You'll need to move the move the Windows recovery partition and use the Windows Disk Management utility to increase the size of the C: drive partition. This article https://thedxt.ca/2023/06/moving-windows-recovery-partition-correctly/ provides a procedure to do that. The procedure in this blog post is done with utilities already present in Windows (it does not require you to install or purchase anything)  and can be done while the VM is running.
