Resizing the disk of a Fresh-Start desktop in a course

If an existing Fresh-Start machine doesn't have enough disk space, you can easily resize it to add more disk space
  1. First, you'll need to stop the Fresh-Start machine
  2. Next, click Clone & Resize to Standalone as shown below (create an organization if you haven't already) Clone - Resize to Standalone Desktop
  3. At this point, increase the disk size as needed, and submit
  4. Click the 'Standalones' link at the top of the page to locate it and confirm it's there
  5. Remove the Fresh-Start machine from the course using the 'Delete' button
  6. Click the 'Create Fresh-Start from my Standalone' button
    Create from Standalone
     
  7. In the 'Create from Standalone' dialog, you can also increase the disk size if you didn't do so in the earlier step
    Create Fresh Start from Standalone, choose disk size change
  8. Add an Alias name if needed, then click the 'Create Desktop' button
