    Hi @Govind Talari,

    Thanks for contacting Microsoft Q&A platform.

    As of now, Azure does not support an in-place upgrade from Windows 10 to Windows 11.

    It is recommended that you create a new Virtual Machine using a fresh Marketplace image for Windows 11, that's optimized with the correct configuration settings.

    More details you can refer to this link:

    Yes, you can upgrade a virtual machine (VM) running Windows 10 to Windows 11 inside Azure Virtual Machines. However, before proceeding with the upgrade, it's essential to ensure that your VM meets the minimum system requirements for Windows 11, such as compatible CPU, TPM version, and Secure Boot support. Additionally, verify compatibility with any software or applications installed on the VM to avoid compatibility issues post-upgrade. Once you've confirmed compatibility, you can initiate the upgrade process following Microsoft's guidelines for upgrading Windows 10 to Windows 11.
