Yeah, WOW, not a quick and easy process by any means!

Good Info - Important Note: If you are dealing with a vm guest attached to a Hyper-V Cluster, You’ll need to use Failover Cluster Manager in Administration Tools on one of the Cluster Nodes - After making the change, go to a Command Prompt and enter the following:
diskpart
DISKPART> list
DISKPART> list volume
DISKPART> select volume #
DISKPART> extend
DISKPART> extend filesystem
You’ll need to run extend filesystem on ant 2008+ server regardless if it is in a Cluster or not…
