Convert existing VHD to VHDX

We use VHD files für Profile and Office container. Is there an easy way to convert from VHD to VHDX? The reason why we want to to this is because VHD is only supported with Windows 7/8 and we use Windows 10. Regards Sandro

If you use the FSLogix tools you can easily convert. The syntax is c:\Program Files\FSLogix\Apps\frx.exe migrate-vhd -src -Dest

As an example c:\Program Files\FSLogix\Apps\frx.exe migrate-vhd -src <sharepath>\<username.vhd> -Dest <sharepath>\<username.vhdx>

Once it is complete make sure the vhdx has the proper NTFS permissions for the user or compare it to the vhd file.
