A: There are two ways you can convert a regular virtual hard disk (VHD) to the new VHDX format found in Windows 8 and Windows Server 2012: by using Windows PowerShell or by using the Hyper-V Manager graphical interface.
Using PowerShell, enter this command:
Convert-VHD as in my example:
<code>Convert-VHD -Path d:\temp\source.vhd -DestinationPath d:\temp\destination.vhdx</code> Using Hyper-V Manager, start the Edit Disk action and select the source VHD file. Then, under the action, select Convert, then select the VHDX format.
