    @De Elroy Welcome to Microsoft Q&A Forum, Thank you for posting your query here!

    • You cannot convert an NFSv4.1 volume with Kerberos enabled to NFSv3.
    • You cannot change the NFS version of a dual-protocol volume.
    • You cannot convert a single-protocol NFS volume to a dual-protocol volume, or the other way around.
    • You cannot convert a destination volume in a cross-region replication relationship.
    • Converting an NFSv4.1 volume to NFSv3 will cause all advanced NFSv4.1 features such as ACLs and file locking to become unavailable.
    • Converting a volume from NFSv3 to NFSv4.1 will cause the .snapshot directory to be hidden from NFSv4.1 clients. The directory will still be accessible.

    For more information, refer to this article :https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/azure-netapp-files/convert-nfsv3-nfsv41
