Select the configuration file (.vmx) of your virtual machine created from VMware Workstation. Now, click on the "Browse" button that has appeared.

Which means that, in this case, we won't be able to extend the "C" partition when necessary. The "Data" partition contains an example test file.Īs you can see, these partitions are on the same hard drive. Multiple partitions on the same virtual hard driveįor this tutorial, we used a virtual machine on Windows 10 with a single virtual hard drive.Īs you can see, from the operating system, we can see that this virtual hard disk has 2 partitions.
