If the guest VM is created with the Windows operating system, this can be done from inside the VM using the PowerShell commandSet-PhysicalDisk:

• Run PowerShell as Administrator

• Enter either of the following commands:

   Set-PhysicalDisk -FriendlyName PhysicalDisk# -MediaType HDD Set-PhysicalDisk -FriendlyName PhysicalDisk# -MediaType SSD
