Windows 10: Can VHD files be downloaded?

Hello, a while back, I accidentally clicked on an AD and it attempted to install a VHD by the name of "Your File is Ready to Download.VHD". Obviously I quickly stopped the download, but the download itself had no progress bar, so is it even possible for a VHD to be installed?

:)

 

how to resize a vhd file?

Hi Papperboy3498,

Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.

We are glad to hear that you were able to fix the issue and I thank you for providing the information about how you fixed it.

The other way to resize the Virtual file is using the
DISKPART commands.

For example: Open the command prompt in administrator mode and follow these steps.

• Diskpart.exe
• Diskpart> Select disk 0
  
• Diskpart> Select volume 1 (Assuming your VHD is detected as volume 1)
  
• Diskpart> shrink desired=4*** minimum=2***(Where * indicates the amount of space you want to add)
  

Please feel free to contact us back, in case you face any other issues regarding Windows in future.

how to resize a vhd file?

so I was experimenting with vhd files and I wanted to resize a vhd file so that I could add in more partitions. basically, I just wanted to put two vhd files together as a partition but can't so I copied one of the vhd files using VirtualBox and then extend
the copy and create a partition and copy the contents of the other vhd file.

information of the vhd files because I can't find the attachments button:

1. FreeBSD.VHD (the one I copied):

disk type: MBR

file system: I think either UFS, UFS2, or ZFS.

disk space: 16.00 GB

2. MS-DOS 6.22 with CD-ROM Support VHD.vhd

disk type: MBR

file system: FAT

disk space: 2.00 GB

edit: I found out! go to the disk you want to resize (on VirtualBox) open properties, and use the slider to change disk size.

 

Downloaded files disappear


When you download a file through any browser, there's an option somewhere to 'Open Containing Folder.'

In Windows, to find a file you have downloaded...

1. Open your personal folder by clicking the Start button and then clicking your user name at the top of the Start menu's right pane.
   
2. Double-click one of the following folders:
   
   • Downloads
     
   • Documents
     
   • Pictures
     
   • Videos
     
   • Music

If you do not see the file you are looking for, but know its file name, you can search for it by following these steps:
To search for a file you have downloaded...

1. Click the Start button
   
2. Type all or part of the file name into the Search box.
   The file you are looking for will appear in the list of results.
