The volume size is 30 GB, Β but I want to increase it to 64 GB.

I have resized the volume to 64 GB via the AWS EC2 console:

But the new volume size is not showing in Windows Server 2012:

Thanks, David.

There's no mixup of volumes.

Both the Instance Details and Volume Details have the same launch date/create date...

I just drilled down to make sure we are looking at the right volume ID (vol-0fb27a6538b61f290).

Thanks Phil, your info was very useful for future reference.

Actually, the extra space appeared after a simple reboot (from within Server 2012).
