Hi Silvia,

I would recommend migrating your workloads to another support image:

If you want to migrate your VMs configuration, see the below post for utilizing sysprep to Generalize your VM and export the configuration (Imran's answer):

VM is running on image that has been scheduled for deprecation

Create a VM from a generalized image version
