    Hi @NATALIE STEYNBOK ,

    "resizing" means expand the size of the OS disk?

    If so it's a 2-step process.

    • First expand the size of the OS disk in the Azure Portal or via PowerShell
    • Second step is to expand/extend the OS disk in the OS itself

    Both steps are described here: How to expand virtual hard disks attached to a Windows virtual machine
