So, I finally got my Windows 10 VM but I didn't give it enough disk space when creating it. How can I enlarge it?

I've read some thread saying that it can be done through the GUI, but I don't really know where. I tried adding another disk in the hardware but even though it's from the same disk it's been recognized as two different disks. And I can't enlarge the first one in the disk management system.

So how can I increase the disk size?

Thanks ^^

Then use Disk-Manager in Windows to "extend"....
 
Also keep in mind that you can only extend your C partition if there is unallocated space right next to it. Often there is a recovery partition next to it that will prevent you from extending the C partition. In such a case you could boot a gparted ISO and try to move the recovery partition to the end of the disk.
And always backup your VM before tinkering with partitions.
