How do you extend C: partition of Windows Server 2022? (piefed.social)

Windows Server 2022 creates one recovery partition just on the right of the C: partition. So, when it is required to expand the C: partition it is impossible due to this recovery partition. I realised of this problem because our IT department provides Windows Server virtual machines users are unable to expand.

I would like to know how are you dealing with this problem. Do you remove the recovery partition? Do you keep the recovery partition? how?

You could also push the EFI partition at the very end of the disk whenever you resize the volume. A bit more annoying but can be done live at least. Or at the very least, moving a 500MB partition is a lot faster than moving GBs of C drive, so less time spent on GParted.
