Once I saw that one of the test virtual machines was running out of free space on system drive C:. I increased the disk size in the virtual machine settings and switched to the guest OS (Windows 10) to extend the size of the system partition using the unallocated space. When I opened the Disk Management console (diskmgmt.msc), I noticed that there were two recovery partitions on the drive. And the unallocated space was appeared after the second recovery partition (labeled as Windows RE). On some reason the recovery partition is located after the main partition (C:) and does not allow to expand the primary volume by using the unallocated space.
