Step 4. Specify VM Size

At the VM Size step of the wizard, you can:

Selecting VM Size and Storage Account

To select a size and storage account for the machine:

Make sure that you select the right VM size that corresponds to the initial machine configuration. The VM size affects the number of CPU cores, memory and disk resources that will be allocated to the restored machine. For more information, see Microsoft Docs.

3. From the Storage account drop-down list, select a storage account whose resources you want to use to store disks of the restored machine. The storage account must be compatible with the VM size you select.

If you select a premium storage account, make sure that the VM size is compatible with the selected account.
