On starting your guest OS, the virtual disk will be bigger.

 

While that is true nonetheless that is only part of it and the additional space the virtual disk now has needs to be partitioned/formatted or the existing volume expanded/extended in order to use the additional space.

Hi Woody,

 

Thanks for the addition. I was a bit lazy to add that part and  in at least some use cases my explanation is also already sufficient.

Down here I have found that with Windows 7/Windows 8 and Fusion 5.x the partition does actually get extended/expanded by Fusion itself already if you just grow the virtual disk.

 

I have not tested if this also happens with older versions of windows (I suspect not)
