Windows 10 is another matter.Īfter browsing a bit, I learned that Windows 10 can be booted and entirely run from USB flash drive, in a mode that is called "Windows to go". It boots (UEFI) and it runs smoothly - I'm planning to install it properly on a USB drive sooner or later. I already have Kubuntu 16.04 live with persistence on a USB3 drive. At any rate, I thought it would be nice to have Windows 10 as a secondary OS on a fast USB 3 drive such as a Sandisk Cruzer Extreme, which is at least as fast as my HDD.)) But since I upgraded to Ubuntu 16.04 and to VB 5.1.2 my Canon software has become extremely slow and memory consuming - I guess there is a bug somewhere. It works quite well with XP, which is all I need. However, from time to time I need to use some Windows software: Photoshop CS5, some Canon software and the deprecated MS Word, which I need for checking that some complex documents (with many tables etc.) are correctly viewed by MSOffice users. I made up my mind to install this Ubuntu flavor as my only OS some three years ago and I am very happy with my choice. Install Partition Editor app.Hi, I have a laptop HP 250G (4 GB, i5, UEFI) with Lubuntu 16.04 as the only OS. If all you want is to add extra space to store your files, it is easier to format the newly created space and access it as an external partition in Ubuntu.
In your Windows Explorer, you should be able to verify that the hard drive has increased in size.ĭepending on your hard drive setup, it can be a difficult (or easy) task to extend the active partition. Right click on the active partition and select “Extend Volume”. In the screen that show up, you should see a new blank unallocated partition at the right of the active partition.
Select the “Create and format hard disk partitions” option. In Windows 8, you can perform a search using the “Search” icon in the sidebar, but you will need to select the “Settings” option. In your Windows OS, Click on Start and type “partition” in the search bar. In your Virtualbox screen, you should be able to see that the virtual size has increased, but when you run the OS, it will still show the old partition size. The next step is to get the respective OS to recognize the increase in storage space. When it reaches 100%, the resizing process is completed. VBoxManage modifyhd windows7.vdi -resize 30000
