Resize the disk of a Fresh-start desktop in a course

When an existing Fresh Start machine doesn't have enough disk space, you can easily resize it to add more
  1. Firstly, you must stop the Fresh-Start machine
  2. Then use Clone & Resize to create a Standalone as shown below (create an organisation if you haven't already) Clone - Resize to Standalone Desktop
  3. At this step, increase the disk size as needed, and submit the change
  4. Visit the 'Standalones' link at the top of the page to locate it and confirm it's there
  5. Remove the Fresh-Start machine from the course using the 'Delete' button
  6. Click 'Create Fresh-Start from my Standalone' button
    Create from Standalone
     
  7. In this 'Create from Standalone' dialogue, you can also opt to increase the disk size if you didn't do so earlier
    Create Freshh Start from Standalone, choose disk size change
  8. Add an Alias name, if required, and then click the 'Create Desktop' button
  9. For Standard DaDesktop Linux and Windows OS templates, the OS will be extended/grown automatically. Please note that AlmaLinux standard templates configure their default partitions differently, which requires additional manual steps as shown below.
  10. For Custom OS Templates, auto-extending the partition(s) may need to be done manually; the steps are shown below.
