How to manage the disk volumes of your Windows 10 cloud server

All our Cloud servers with Windows 10 operating system have a customized disk partitioning structure so that, once you have created your Cloud Windows server, you can easily decide whether you want your O.S. to have a single disk volume C:/ or also a second disk volume E:/.

Below, we explain, for each version of the Windows Operating System available for your Cloud, the two methods for your server to have a single disk volume C:/ or two disk volumes C:/ + E:/

Windows 10 Professional and Windows 10 Enterprise LTSC
