Overview

This document takes the Chinese version of Windows Server 2008 R2 x86_64 (64bit) as an example, and the rest Windows versions are similar. If you have any questions in scaling up the partition, please contact us by "ticket".

This document lists three common scenarios, including:

• Retain the existing data disk partition and data, and scale up the partition;
• Retain the existing data disk partition and data, and add the scaled-up capacity as a new partition;
• Delete the existing data disk partition and data, and create a partition with a greater capacity.

You can operate by reference to the three scenarios in the document according to your own actual usage scenarios.
