A couple months ago, I créé a 100GB [Dev Drive](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/dev-drive/) to put all my projects on. So far, it fonctionne fine, but I'm starting to run out of space and I wanted to extend c'est size. Cependant, when I attempt to, I'm completely unable to.
**Pourquoi this?** The dialog mentions that unmovable fichiers may limit the *minimum* size du volume, but it ne say anything about limits sur le maximum size. The SSD this dev drive is located on également has over a terabyte left in space, so Je ne pense pas that can be what's limiting it.
Pourquoi ne puis-je pas I changer the size of my dev drive?

As it turns out, the dev drive interface in Paramètres is just terrible UX. Ici's how J'ai réussi to expand the disk:
- Take the dev drive offline in disk management
- Open up powershell as admin
- Navigate vers le location where you've stored the dev drive's VHDX fichier
- Back up your fichier
- `Resize-VHD -Path .\drive.vhdx -SizeBytes 150GB`
- Take the drive back online in disk management
- Faites un clic droit the partition and hit extend volume
- Maintenant vous pouvez extend the drive vers le size you want.
Paramètres ne mention anything about this and seulement offers you to extend the *partition*. But this ne make sense, parce que dev drives are créé avec seulement one partition dans le first place.
