It may help to note that if your OS is not supported for in-place upgrades, the recommendation is to migrate your workload to a new VM:https://learn.microsoft.com/en-US/troubleshoot/azure/virtual-machines/server-software-support#summary
Microsoft does not support an in-place upgrade of certain versions of the operating system in a Microsoft Azure Virtual Machine. (For more information, see KB 4014997.) Instead, you should create a new Azure virtual machine that is running the supported version of the operating system that is required and then migrate the workload. Instructions for how to migrate Windows Server roles and features are available in the following TechNet topic: Install, use, and remove Windows Server migration tools.
