+
+Just short note about it, as from time to time I need to increase volume size.
+
+## Part 1 - In host system
+
+* Get list of VMs
+
+  ```powershell
+  Get-VM
+  ```
+
+* Turn off the VM.
+
+  ```powershell
+  $vmName = "YourVirtualMachineName"
+  Stop-VM -Name "$vmName"
+  ```
+
+* Expand the disk
+
+  ```powershell
+  Get-VHD -VMName $vmName
+  Resize-VHD -Path "VHD_PATH" -SizeBytes 100GB
+  ```
+
+* Check the changes
+
+  ```poweshell
+  Get-VHD -VMName $vmName
+  ```
+
+* Start the VM & connect to VM
+
+  ```poweshell
+  Start-VM -Name "$vmName"
+  Connect-VM -VMName "$vmName"
+  ```
+
+## Part 2 - Inside VM
+
+* Install guest tools for VM (if it wasn't done before)
+
+  ```sh
+  sudo apt install cloud-guest-utils
+  ```
+
+* Work with virtual disk
+
+  ```sh
+  lsblk # to find the correct disk name and partition
+  sudo growpart /dev/sda 1 # choose the partition of hard drive to increase, in this example sda and 1 partition
+  sudo resize2fs /dev/sda1 # resize filesystem in the partition, in this example sda and 1 partition
+  ```
+
+* Check the changes
+
+  ```sh
+  df -h
+  ```
+
+That's all.
