How to expand the amount of storage in a Win10 HVM ?

I have tried to go into "Qube Settings" of the Win10 HVM and under "System storage max. size" write 45.720 MiB. And then click apply. Then there appeared a message saying something like that I need to configure the amount of storage space manually.

But how do I configure the amount of storage space manually ?

- start your Windows VM
- open start menu and type 'disk'
- select the 'create and format hard disk partitions' entry
- when the 'Disk Management' starts it will prompt you about an
uninitalized disk. Cancel that dialog.
- now you should see three disks.

- Disk 0 is the system disk
- Disk 1 contains the private image / user files
- Disk 2 ... leave that one alone

- if you enlarged the system area you will see free space after the 'c:'
partition. Right-click on 'c:' and choose 'Extend Volume...'

- same works for 'D:' if you enlarged the private volume
