Update VM size for old generation VM

Your workload is hosted on old generation or promo SKU, for such situation migrating to a new generation SKU is always difficult. We can't find the desire SKU from VM upgradation bled.

Following are the steps to accomplish this.

1. Deallocate the VM (Not stop , deallocate is different than stop)

2. Go to VM upgradation bled and select desire VM size and proceed.

Note: Desire VM size will not available until VM is deallocated.

Cons: Deallocation of VM will release dynamic IP(public and private), make sure your infrastructure doesn't depend on existing dynamic IP otherwise assign static IP to VM before resizing.

Take a full backup of VM for disaster , there might be a chance of unsuccessful upgradation.
