Dism /Image:C:\ /Add-Driver /Driver:C:\libvirt\viostor\{WIN VERSION}\amd64\viostor.inf
Dism /Image:C:\ /Add-Driver /Driver:C:\libvirt\vioscsi\{WIN VERSION}\amd64\vioscsi.inf

Shut down, then backup or clone the disk image. (Varies by service)
IMPORTANT VM NEEDS TO BE SHUTDOWN CLEANLY.

Upload to VHI portal, make shure to select uefi mode if your system was running it, or bios if it wasn't.

Due to the time it takes to upload a large image it is recommended if using the web uploaded to not use the browser for any other tasks while its uploading, and to make sure the machine its running on has all power save functions that may interrupt disabled.

Create new vm selecting image, and all other needed options.

Once vm is booted, from add and remove programs remove previous platforms drivers virturalbox/vmware etc.

Navigate to the mounted driver cd or C:/libvirt and Install setupMain.exe to install the rest of the drivers and update them.

Reboot
