MicrosoftCould you help us understand what problem you are trying to solve by partitioning the disk?
Hello EricOrman ,
Here are the queries:
1. After partitioning, why a new drive doesn't show on "My PC" of W365 cloud pc? Is this hidden by design?
For example, After partitioning, I have another disk, D drive, it accessible but it is not shown on My PC.
2. Can we do disk partition centrally (somewhere) for multiple Cloud PCs at the same time? If that is the case, what kind of tool to perform this.
Thanks
- EricOrmanSorry, I'm still not understanding why there is a desire to partition, we understand it doesn't work but that is not what we are trying to understand. We'd like to know why there is a desire to partition, for example is it because certain apps require it or for other reasons? Its unusual anymore to partition a drive and so we'd like to learn and know more.
- Understand this now Eric. Thanks for pointing this out. I have had a talk with my colleagues and again reviewed use cases to support the assumption but not found anything reasonable for the cloud pc. By the way, I have passed this point on another team who works closely with end customers for their consideration if they learn/come up with something interesting they may raise by themselves. We can close this topic now. Thanks a lot.
