When trying to deploy SDN via https://video2.skills-academy.com/en-us/azure-stack/hci/manage/sdn-express, the HCI OS is required in a vhd format.

When I am trying Convert-WindowsImage Powershell command i get the following error

    It worked after removing the -Edition parameter.

    How I got to this conclusion ?
    When I ran the command Get-Windowsimage pointing to the win of Azure Stack HCI OS, it did not sow a Server version. Following was the output.

    Get-WindowsImage -ImagePath "D:\sources\install.wim"

    ImageIndex : 1
    ImageName : Azure Stack HCI SERVERAZURESTACKHCICORE
    ImageDescription : Azure Stack HCI SERVERAZURESTACKHCICORE
    ImageSize : 8,234,219,375 bytes

    For a normal Windows server iso the output shows "Windows Server 20xx". This prompted me to remove the -Edition parameter and try.
