Increase disk size when using checkpoints?

Yeah, it all depends upon what you are doing. I have only one long term, production Hyper-V VM. That VM has been running continuously for somewhere around 1.5 to 2 years (with regular reboots when the host system is restarted) and acts as a Plex Server. I have NEVER tried to reclaim any space on that virtual disk.

The disk was created as a 128 GB dynamically expanding disk but currently only occupies 38 GB of actual space on the host drive.

NOTE: While this is a plex server, the actual media files are located elsewhere (not on the virtual disk) because the media files occupy upwards of 40 TB.

Agreed. I have 6vhdx files set at max of 80 GB (stored on second 1tb nvme drive). These regularly grow to between 60 to 80 GB, taking 1/3rd to 1/2 of drive. I have to keep the critters under control - where do you think they got inspiration for Gism from LOL.

[QUOTE=cereberus;2493120
The easy way to reclaim space is to clone existing vhdx file to a vhdx file slight larger than contents of existing vhdx and then resizing new vhdx file afterwards.[/QUOTE]

Does this approach create issues with Windows licensing?

No licencing is not affected.
