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?

A windows server iso would be a lot more useful since you could do anything including reinstall the OS, or copy files from the installer over. Recovery limits you to mostly just what’s already on the C drive.

Well, yes, but I thought that we're all smart enough to know that here and I didn't have to qualify my statement with "In the scenario that the recovery partition would be useful, a Windows ISO would be equally as useful to the task at hand."
