How do I download a image of my currently installed VM?
I've tried the capture button, but it deployed an image that I cannot find the download button.
It's called "Windows-image-20220528134702" and there's only Create VM, clone to VM Image, delete and refresh.
Is there a way to download *.iso or *.vhdx files from Azure Virtual Machine?

    Hello @Anonymous ,
    Thanks for reaching out to Microsoft QnA! Happy to answer your question.
    Yes, you can download vhd files from Azure to your local Machine using the download option available under the SAS url.
    Please check the documentation link - https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/virtual-machines/windows/download-vhd#generate-download-url.
    In this documentation, specifically check the Generate Download URL and Download VHD steps.

    Hope this helps. Let me know if you have any further queries.
