I have deployed Azure VM with unmanaged premium SSD disk type. Now i would like to convert the disk type from premium ssd to standard hdd.
But i dont find any MS documenation for this. Instead i see the docs are available only for Managed disk type conversion.
Can you please let me know how can i convert the disk type of unmanaged disk from premium ssd to standard hdd

Thanks in Advance

    @Jayanth Rajanna Yes for unmanaged disk, you just need to copy the disk between storage accounts, move from Premium storage to standard storage and it becomes SSD to HDD.

    Hope this helps! Kindly let us know if the above helps or you need further assistance on this issue.
