Converting v5 SKU VM's to v6 or v7

Hi all, I was wondering if anyone has done this. I'd like to upgrade one of my existing AVD session host VM's from a v5 SKU to a v6 or v7.

Has anyone had success in doing this? I know this isn't supported by the normal method in the portal. The reason being is that the newer SKUs use NVMe and not SCSI. However, I'm attempting to follow the article here:

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/virtual-machines/nvme-linux?tabs=windows

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/virtual-machines/migration/sizes/scsi-to-nvme-migration (this article is also the same method)

Anyway, I launch cloud shell, download the script run the following command:

.\Azure-NVMe-Conversion.ps1 -ResourceGroupName myRGName -VMName myVMname -NewControllerType NVMe -FixOperatingSystemSettings -VMSize Standard_D2s_v6 -StartVM

My originating SKU is Standard_D2as_v5. The script runs successfully. It even states it is converting SCSI to NVMe and all looks great, just like it should. However, when the VM powers up it says it cannot find storage device (unknown) etc and it won't boot.

I then run the roll back command and my VM boots again without issue.

.\Azure-NVMe-Conversion.ps1 -ResourceGroupName myRGName -VMName myVMname -NewControllerType SCSI -VMSize Standard_D2as_v5 -StartVM

I'd like like to get this VM on a newer SKU so has anyone had success with this script? Anyone, other than me want to give it a go? I must be missing something...

Why can you not download clips on the website but you can in the app???

Seems so stupid that the website doesn't give you the ability to just download the clip to your PC. However, if I go to the same clip on my ipad I can download it no problem. Just seems like a stupid limitation. I'm having to download the clip on my ipad then log into my icloud account on my PC and download it from there to save it to a folder etc.

And I know there are 3rd party tools that add this functionality to the website but that just extra steps. Plus, it doesn't give you the title screen showing what game and type of highlight you just downloaded, like it does when you do it from the app.

Just venting cause it's sooo dumb.
