I have uploaded my vhdx file to Azure as Block blob. How can I create vm from it? Please give me the step by step procedure.
If it is not possible then what is the other way to do that?
If anyone can help me I will be grateful to that.

Azure only supports VHD files and it would need to be uploaded as a page blob before you can create a disk from the image.
I recommend to follow the procedures in the links below to prepare your VHD image, upload and create VM.

ok What can I do now. I have uploaded it as vhdx to Azure. How it can be converted to vhd in Azure? Please give me the step by step procedure.
Also how the block blob can be converted to page blob in Azure?
Technically yes, you could copy to a fileshare and use a PowerShell command to convert it to VHD and then to page blob. This is likely to be time consuming so instead I would strongly recommend to read through the links above and upload it again as there are a lot of other configuration requirements other than it must be a VHD format.
Thankyou for this answer.
Could you please help me on how to copy the vhd to a fileshare in azure?
Also I have one doubt, vhd type should be dynamic or Fixed. Which one? Why?
