Adjusting the disk size of a Fresh-start desktop in a course

If an existing Fresh Start machine is running low on disk space, you can easily resize it to increase its capacity

1. To begin, ensure the Fresh-Start machine is stopped
2. Then, use the Clone & Resize option to create a Standalone machine as shown below (set up an organization if you haven't done so already)
3. At this point, adjust the disk size to your needs and submit
4. Click the 'Standalones' link at the top of the page to locate it and verify it's present
5. Delete the original Fresh-Start machine from the course using the 'Delete' button
6. Click the 'Create Fresh-Start from my Standalone' button
   
    
7. Within the 'Create from Standalone' dialog, you can also increase the disk size here if you skipped that step earlier
   
8. Provide an alias name if necessary, then click the 'Create Desktop' button
9. For standard DaDesktop Linux and Windows OS templates, the operating system will be automatically expanded. Note that AlmaLinux standard templates have different default partition layouts, requiring extra manual steps as detailed below.
10. When using custom OS templates, you may need to manually extend the partition(s); follow the instructions provided below.
