Is there some way to change windows disk size without actually increase it?

Question

What I mean is, for test purpose, Can I change the disk size showed for Windows without actually increase it.

For example, in "this computer", the real disk size is: 50gb, but I'd like to change some setting on windows to make it think that the disk is 100gb. And of course, some way to return the correct size.

This sounds like an X-Y problem. What are you *actually* trying to achieve? — vidarlo, Mar 08 '22 at 21:27

Not for a drive backed by physical media, but you can create/attach a Dynamic VHD(X) where its capacity is larger than the size it physically consumes. Disk Management is probably the easiest way to do this.
