Where can I find Convert-VHD PowerShell command

I'm new to PowerShell and am having trouble finding the Convert-VHD command. I expected google to tell me that I needed to install a SDK - but can't find any instructions.

The help page suggests that it's already installed on Win 8.1 (my operating system). If so, where is it? https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/hh848454(v=wps.630).aspx

Help appreciated.

Solution

  • You have to import the ServerManager module

    Import-Module ServerManager

    Of course you have to install it, you can find it as a feature named Hyper-V Module for Windows PowerShell

    enter image description here

    This should be the code to install the module from Powershell

    Add-WindowsFeature RSAT-Hyper-V-Tools –IncludeAllSubFeature
