Hi,
I used created a vm in vmware player 16 & booted from the vhd file. I haven't worked with vhd files. How can I add 10 gigs of space to the vhd file? The expand feature in vmware comes back with an error of 'a parameter is missing' when I try & expand the drive through the player.
Thanks for your time and consideration.

!!! Backup vorher nicht vergessen fals was schief gehen sollte.!!!
starte diskpart with admin rights from cmd.
type select vdisk file=d:\vhd\windows-8.vhd (the path and filename from your file)
expand vdisk maximum=30000
Die Angabe der Grösse erfolgt in MB. Die VHD-Datei hat nun, nach kurzer Zeit
(ca. 2 Minuten), eine Grösse von 30 GB.
Dann startet man die Virtual-Box oder vmware player or vmware und geht in die Datenträgerverwaltung und
erweitert die Festplatte um die angefügten Gigabytes
Das wars.

I'll be working on a 21H2 version of MediCat VHD when I get back home, yes. I'll be first using NTLite to strip out bloatware and things, and then I'll start working on the installation. Now if Microsoft is about to drop a new major update this summer, I may wait until they do, but if it's not coming until the fall then I'll get right on it.

Sorry for the ignorant questions but what is the difference between the VHD and Medicat USB version of this? Is VHD going to replace the USB version? Does this have the HP Laptop keyboard/mouse fixes?

The VHD is a full-on Windows installation, and doesn't have the restrictions or issues that the WinPE version has. And no, it will not replace the Mini Windows 10, it's just an alternative. This is basically a portable Windows 10 that you can use for anything, but my focus is on PC repair. It works great on my HP laptop from 2020. Mouse, Keyboard, other languagepacks, Wi-Fi, Windows Update, The Microsoft Store...... it all works great.
