Hello @Rising Flight ,

We assume you are using the ARM deployment model and managed disk.

If you have the managed disk in the Azure, you could use several options there, as example:

1) Create a snapshot from a disk => create a new disk from the snapshot => create a new VM from the disk.
2) Create a new VM from the disk.

These steps are very simple and could be done via the Azure Portal by navigating to the OS disk blade:

Please let me know if above answers your question.
