    Code Block
    vss-cli --wait compute vm set <id> state shutdown --confirm
  2. Power on the virtual machine (system then picks up new chipset identifiers)

    Code Block
    vss-cli --wait compute vm set <id> state on
  3. Proceed with upgrade as you like (e.g. by mounting an ISO or using Windows Update). To mount the ISO execute:

    Code Block
    vss-cli --wait compute vm set <id> cd up --backing Windows_11
