Recently I needed to move a VM from one vNet to another. There are a few ways to do this, but for me, as the VM was not critical, I was able to stop it, then delete it, and then recreate it using the Managed Disk. Below I will go through the steps of creating a new VM from a managed disk.
Creating The VM
Navigate to your Managed Disk and click it.

Now you will see a button called Create VM. Click it.

You will now have the Create a virtual machine blade showing. You will see under Image your Managed Disk. Just fill in the blade as you would when creating a new VM.

And there you have it, a new VM from your managed disk. If you were doing this to move the VM vNet like me, make sure you clean up the old nic and other resources.
I hope you found this article helpful. If you have any questions please reach out using the normal methods.
