You have virtual machine named VM1.
VM1 uses a fixed size virtual hard disk (VHD) named Disk1.vhD. Disk1.vhd is 200 GB.
You shut down VM1.
You need to reduce the size of disk1.vhd.
Which action should you select from the Edit Virtual Hard Disk Wizard?
A.
Merge
B.
Compact
C.
Shrink
D.
Convert
WRONG. Correct answer is D.
You need to convert it before you can shrink it. Only VHDX files can use the shrink feature. It is not Resize because you need to convert before you can resize and see the shrink option.

Correct answer is D :
“the ability to expand and shrink virtual hard disks is exclusive to virtual hard disks that are using the .vhdx file format. Online resizing is supported for VHDX disk types, including fixed, differencing, and dynamic disks. Virtual hard disks that use the .vhd file format are not supported for resizing operations.”

I believe, compact action can be done on .vhd but it should be a dynamic one and not fixed size. There is no necessity for it to be .vhdx for compaction.
Please correct me if I am wrong.
