Symptoms

I am running out of free space on my virtual machine, and I want to increase the size of the virtual hard disk.

Cause

Even if you have an expanding virtual hard disk, it won’t expand above the limit set in virtual hard disk configuration. To allow further expansion, you must increase the size manually.

Resolution

Warning! We strongly recommend that you check your virtual machine's hard disk for errors and back up your virtual machine before following the steps below.

Note: This article does not apply to Boot Camp virtual machines, where the primary partition size cannot be increased.

Starting from version 14, Parallels Desktop will periodically check free disk space left in the virtual hard disk and offer to increase (resize) hard disk via macOS notifications.

To increase virtual hard disk size, do the following:

1. Start Parallels Desktop and do not start your virtual machine. Shut it down if it is either suspended or running.

2. Click on the Parallels icon on Mac menu bar and select Control Center:

3. Right-click on your virtual machine and choose Configure to open its configuration.

4. For Parallels Desktop 14:
   Go to the Hardware tab, select Hard Disk which requires increasing the size then expand Advanced Settings drop-down menu, then click Properties.
   For earlier Parallels Desktop versions:
   Go to the Hardware tab, select Hard Disk which requires increasing the size then click Properties.

5. If the virtual machine has Snapshots the following notification window will appear. Press Manage Snapshots.. to open the corresponding dialogue window then remove Snapshots to start editing the disk size.
   

6. Choose the size you want for the virtual hard disk and click Apply.
   

7. After that Parallels Desktop will suggest creating a backup of the virtual machine.

2. Right-click on the Start menu > Disk Management.
