    Hi @Faisal Ali ,

    It's not supported. You need to completely reinstall it or recreate it with proper version.
    Please find another case for reference:

    Hi @Faisal Ali

    If that given VM is deployed as an Azure SQL VM from the marketplace, and you are using the IaaS SQL Server extension, then you should be able to change the Edition "on the fly" without the need of a complete re-deploy!

    Windows SQL Server IaaS Agent extension

    In-place change of SQL Server edition on Azure VM
