Converting VHDX to VHD in PowerShell

Today let’s see how to convert VDHX to VHD. I faced this issue while uploading the virtual hard disk to Azure for creating VM out of it. The major difference between VHDX and VHD is that VHDX supports dynamic size, that means it can be changed. But VHD are fixed size virtual disks. Microsoft Azure does not support Dynamic size virtual disk that’s why it needs to be converted to VHD.
