It seems googleing' for similar questions, that there is an "F" option: A. Remove the Backup (volume shadow copy) integration service B. Generalize VM1 C. Run Add-AzureRmVhd and specify a blob service container as the destination D. Run Add-AzureRmVhd and specify a file share as the destination E. Reduce the amount of memory to 16 GB F. Convert the disk type to VHD in this case, it has sense and it would be B, C ad F

and add that I didn't see any info in documentation about "shadow copies" removal as a problem or other integration services like those in the exhibit... so it makes sense F option as the disk appears as VHDX in the exhibit and it should be converted to VHD before uploading to Azure

ABC is correct: Remove the Backup (volume shadow copy) integration service Refernce: https://devblogs.microsoft.com/setup/delete-shadow-copies-to-compact-vhds-and-avhds/

A is not correct. The existence of the backup integration service does not imply that shadow copies exist or that the existence of shadow copies is an issue for conversion of the VHDX to a VHD. Compacting the disk is not a requirement for this task.

answer is BCF as per below link it has misleading first line which says "you must prepare the virtual hard disk (VHD or VHDX)." but later on they are having steps to convert vhdx to vhd using Hyper-V Manager or Convert-VHD cmdlet in PowerShell hence given asnwer is correct https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/virtual-machines/windows/prepare-for-upload-vhd-image removing option Integration services does not make sense as this are services that allow the virtual machine to communicate with the Hyper-V host. Many of these services are conveniences while others can be quite important to the virtual machine's ability to function correctly.

I agree, the answer will be: BCF. Explanation: Generalize, clean personal data and prepare your VM to be an image. Add-AzureRmVhd will have a Blob like destiny. You’ll need to change HDD to VHD to be able to upload to azure, Azure support VHD disks.

Anwer option F is missing here. F. Convert the disk type to VHD. From my point of view: B, C, F. See: e.g. https://vceguide.com/which-three-actions-should-you-perform-before-you-create-the-new-image/
