Windows 11
Hello,

I'm here to ask for your help because I installed the professional version of windows 11 because I wanted to have access to the sandbox version.
I wanted to configure windows sandbox, but I can't figure out how to change the storage, because when I launch windows sandbox, it gives me 40 GB of storage by default.
Does anyone have the line of code in XML to modify the storage of my windows sandbox please?

Thank you very much for your help.

I do not think it is possible directly, but you can probably create a virtual hard drive vhdx drive on host, and share folders in the vhdx.

I suggest a vhdx as it reduces risk of malicious software infecting host but obviously does not eliminate it.

  • Mapped folders: Share folders from the host with read or write permissions. Exposing host directories may allow malicious software to affect the system or steal data.
