Seems to be correct: 1. First, you need to move page file from Temporary Storage, since this will block drive letter change 2. Then change Temporary Storage to other than D: 3. Assign letter D: to newly created storage 4. Finally, move page file back to Temporary Storage

Correct https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/virtual-machines/windows/change-drive-letter "If your application needs to use the D drive to store data, follow these instructions to use a different drive letter for the temporary disk. Never use the temporary disk to store data that you need to keep."

Correct. If you have an application that specifically requires the D: drive, you need to follow these steps to temporarily move the pagefile.sys, attach a new data disk and assign it the letter D and then move the pagefile.sys back to the temporary drive. https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/virtual-machines/windows/change-drive-letter

According to documentation, the order would be the following: Attach the data disk Temporarily move pagefile.sys to C drive Change the drive letters Move pagefile.sys back to the temporary storage drive https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/virtual-machines/windows/change-drive-letter

The problem with that is that the answer says you "Add the new Disk and Assign drive D." In this scenario you cannot assign Drive D until it has been removed from the temporary storage. You cannot remove D from temporary storage until the Page File has been moved. So the order must be: Move Page file to C: Move Temp Storage to a Different Drive Letter Attach New Disk and Assign D Move Page File back to Temp Storage (Although moving the Page File the second time could be done before or after attaching the new Disk)
