Original KB number: 2799257
Symptoms
Certain situations may necessitate converting VHD files to VHDX, or VHDX files to VHD. For example, a Virtual Machine Manager (VMM) template referencing a VHDX cannot be deployed to a Windows Server 2008 Hyper-V server, therefore this template will need to be recreated using a VHD file.
