Can i move VM that is running from one resource group to another or i need to stop (deallocate) the virtual machine before ? I cant test this because i don't have an account on Azure. Thanks

Thanks for posting your question in the Microsoft Q&A forum.
You do not need to stop (deallocate) the VM before moving it to another resource group as long as it meets the requirements and has no dependencies preventing the move.

You can find more information in the following links:

But usually there are dependencies such as Vnet to which it is attached and which will remain in the source resource group. Microsoft Copilot says it can't be moved so I asked for help on this forum. If I understand correctly, I can move it if I move the Vnet network along with it ?
