Hello! I am looking to upgrade some Premium SSD disks to Premium SSD v2, but a limitation of Premium SSD v2 is it cannot used as an OS disk. Is there a way through Azure portal, or Azure cost data to identify which current Premium SSD disks are being used as an OS disk (and thus cannot be upgraded to Premium SSD v2)?

    Hi,

    You can see if it is OS disk by looking at the OS type column for the disk, on Overview tab this shows as "Operating system:" Additionally OS disks created via the portal during manual VM creation will normally have OsDisk in their name.

    You may view Disks in portal using below link:

    https://portal.azure.com/#view/HubsExtension/BrowseResource/resourceType/Microsoft.Compute%2Fdisks

    Click Manage view -- Edit columns and add the OS type column.

    Please click Accept Answer and upvote if the above was helpful.

    Thanks.
