At a given instance, the subscription is only associated with one tenant. So, when they want to Move VM to another tenant, they mean they want to move the VM from a subscription associated with a particular tenant to another subscription linked to another tenant. #### Use The Azure Portal For Moving a VM to a Different Subscription Users can [move a VM](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/virtual-machines/windows/move-vm) along with the associated resources to a separate subscription through the Azure portal. 1. Open the Azure portal for managing the resource group that contains the VM to move. Search for Resource groups and select them. 2. Click on the resource group that contains the VM that you want to move. 3. You will see the Move tab at the top of the resource group. Select it, and then click on Move to another subscription. It will open the Move resources page. 4. Select all the resources that you want to move. In most **Azure Tenant To Tenant Migration** cases, you will move all the listed related resources. 5. Next, select the Subscription where you want to move the VM. 6. Users can either create a new resource group by entering a name or select an existing Resource Group. 7. After you are finished, click on the declaration that you understand the creation of new resource IDs and that they will need to be used with the VM after migration, and then select OK.
