Hello @exchange beginner

Thank you for posting in Q & A forum.

You can use Azure Storage Explorer to upload a VHD file to a storage account Or Upload an image using PowerShell. After you upload your VHD file, you can create a custom image from the uploaded VHD file and use the image to provision a virtual machine.

So I know this was over a year ago at this point, but after working on this for a few hours, Googling, reading documentation, etc.... I still came up empty handed. For anyone who stumbles upon this, I wrote a well documented Powershell script to do this, Copying the OS disk of any VM to Azure blob storage.
