How to add a hard disk to a virtual machineWhen using a virtual machine to install the system, only one hard disk is allocated. However, I feel that the capacity is not enough and I need to add another hard disk to give the computer more capacity. A virtual machine can add a hard disk through simple operations, which is very convenient. So how to add a hard disk to the virtual machine.
Open the virtual machine and log in to the system, right-click the hardware location on the lower right side of the virtual machine and enter 'Settings'.
Click 'Add' under Hardware to add a hard drive.
After clicking Add Hard Disk, follow the default operation to enter disk capacity allocation. Set the required allocation size of the disk. Finally, follow the default program until completion.
Right-click on My Computer to enter 'Management'. After entering, find ‘Disk Management’ on the storage. Then a popup will pop up whether to initialize the disk. Disk can be allocated only after initialization.
Right-click on the hard disk you created to create a new simple volume.
By default, the capacity of this disk is allocated when entering this page, and then the default is continued until completion.
Congratulations on the completion of the new disk allocation and you can use this disk.

How to deal with insufficient disk space in a virtual machine1. Adjust the disk partition size: If it only prompts that the corresponding disk partition has insufficient space, and other disk partitions still have enough disk space, such as the system disk space is insufficient , we can solve it by adjusting the partition size;
2. Expand the virtual disk capacity: First open the corresponding virtual machine, click "Edit Virtual Machine Settings", select the corresponding hard disk, expand "Utilities", and click Click "Extend Capacity", enter the maximum disk size, click "Extend" to expand the virtual disk until completed; log in to the corresponding virtual machine system again, the "unassigned" space obtained by expanding the disk space can be seen in the disk management, and you can directly create a new disk Partition or resize existing disk partitions;
3. Add a new hard disk: If you want to control the size of a single virtual disk file, just
