How to can migrate Physical machine running win 7 to Azure

[Yousuf Khan]

I don't if the windows 7 is supported?

I am not positive you can migrate a physical Windows 7 VM to Azure using Azure site recovery. From my understanding this needs to be virtual 64 bit machine patched with update rollup 36. One other option you could do is create a VHD of the physical machine and upload it to Azure and create a VM from it. Please see the support matrix article below. Let me know if I can answer any additional questions.

@Yousuf Khan You first have to convert your volume using a sysinternal tool called Disk2vhd 

Note: Windows 7 end of life is in 6 months from now, I'd rather upgrade but the choice is yours.
