1. Operations on virtual hard disks can't be performed with the VM running. Deallocate your VM with [az vm deallocate](/cli/azure/vm#az-vm-deallocate). The following example deallocates the VM named *myVM* in the resource group named *myResourceGroup*:
When you create a new virtual machine (VM) in a resource group by deploying an image from [Azure Marketplace](https://azure.microsoft.com/marketplace/), the default operating system (OS) disk is usually 127 GiB (some images have smaller OS disk sizes by default). You can add data disks to your VM (the amount depends on the VM SKU you selected) and we recommend installing applications and CPU-intensive workloads on data disks. You may need to expand the OS disk if you're supporting a legacy application that installs components on the OS disk or if you're migrating a physical PC or VM from on-premises that has a larger OS disk. This article covers expanding either OS disks or data disks.
