Convert Hyper-V Virtual Machine From VHD To VHDX

New Server has arrived

I bought a new server its a Dell T3500 running one Intel Xeon W3503 2.4ghz with 12Gb of DDR3 ram and 3 x 500gb Sata disks in a RAID5 Array.

I've built this machine with a mission to get certified welcome Server 2008 R2 and Hyper-V.

If anyone is interested in certification let me know.
