After logging into one of my Azure accounts, I went directly to the Preview Portal - and the option to use the old one was not selected.
When I click “new” while trying to create a new image from the blob that is in my storage container, the only selection of new things that I have is listed in the Marketplace section and they are all pre-packaged.
On the Azure source site, I just go to "virtual machines, create disks" - and name it, then go to vhd in the url vhd field and create a disk.
Then just create an image, then vm.
I have or not, NONE opportunities to do this on the new preview portal.
If someone is following and has a key to how to do this on the new portal, I would like to hear or get a link :)
Thanks! stealing ps ... not sure if this is the place to post this question, since every time I submit an Azure question, someone says that this is not the place for such questions - maybe tell Microsoft? I got to this page by clicking the support icon on the Azure Portal - just FYI.
