I have downloaded our Azure Linux VM VHD but am unable to get it running locally using Hyper-V. I haven't been able to find any detailed instructions regarding actually running the downloaded VM locally. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

    Thanks for the quick reply. I followed those steps and when I startup the VM it hangs at the following line "received client request to flush runtime journal". I did a search on that and there was a mention of the file system being read only. Don't know if that has anything to do with it but that was all I could find.

    Hey,

    If you still have access to Azure VM, you can use StarWind V2V Converter to move Azure VM directly to Hyper-V host. You can find details here: https://www.starwindsoftware.com/v2v-help/VMfromMicrosoftAzuretoMicrosoftHyperVServer.html

    Cheers,
