7. Click the Next button to continue.
8. Click the On radio button. On the Connection page, you can specify Windows credentials for authenticating to the VM and the final state in which the Converter tool should leave both the source and destination virtual machines. Because we are doing a complete end-to-end migration of this VM to Windows Azure, we'll leave the source VM in an Off state and the destination VM in an On state when the conversion process is completed.

10. Click in the Folder field to enter a workspace folder path.
On the Workspace page, specify an existing folder path to be used as a temporary folder for performing the VM conversion. Note that you will need enough available disk space in this folder path to temporarily store two copies of the VM's virtual hard disks.

13. Click in the Path field to enter a folder to store the converted VHDs.
14. Click the Next button to continue. Because we are converting a Virtual Machine for later upload and provisioning to Windows Azure, we'll leave the default virtual hard disk type value of "Fixed", because Windows Azure Infrastructure Services requires Fixed VHDs for provisioned VMs.

Update Drivers Steps Description
1. Click the Close button.
2. Click on Hyper-V Manager on the taskbar.
The VM conversion process has completed, but we'll still need to update the Hyper-V Integration Services drivers inside the VM. To perform this step, we'll launch Hyper-V Manager.
