Can you have a base disk in .vhd format and a differencing disk in .vhdx format?

When you create a differencing disk, you must specify a parent disk image and the filename for a child disk image to contain the differences from the parent. Both must be the same format. Example: Parent.vhdx, Child.vhdx.

If you're converting from a fixed VHD to a dynamically expanding VHDX is the VHDX file compact at that point? IE it is only utilising the space utilised?

After the wizard is finished converting to the new .VHDX format, does the .VHDX version of the file automatically replace the .VHD version in the VM's configuration, or do you have to manually go into the VM configuration and point to the newly generated .VHDX file?

Also, the VHDs are left behind in most cases, I thought they were deleted after conversion?

Something else to keep in mind is the physical sector size of a VHD (which is limited to 512 bytes) verse a VHDX (which can be 4096). When a VHD is converted to a VHDX, I believe the sector size remains at 512 bytes. However you may want to change this to a 4096 byte sector size via PowerShell.
