+## Existing VM
+
+You can also add an existing VM to a proximity placement group. You need to stop\deallocate the VM first, then update the VM and restart.
+
+```azurepowershell-interactive
+Stop-AzVM -Name myVM -ResourceGroupName myResourceGroup
+$ppg = Get-AzProximityPlacementGroup -ResourceGroupName myPPGResourceGroup -Name myPPG
+$vm = Get-AzVM -ResourceGroupName myResourceGroup -Name myVM
+Update-AzVM -VM $vm -ResourceGroupName $vm.ResourceGroupName -ProximityPlacementGroupId $ppg.Id
+Restart-AzVM -Name myVM -ResourceGroupName myResourceGroup
+```
+
 ## Availability Sets
 You can also create an  availability set in your proximity placement group. Use the same `-ProximityPlacementGroup` parameter with the [New-AzAvailabilitySet](/powershell/module/az.compute/new-azavailabilityset) cmdlet to create an availability set and all of the VMs created in the availability set will also be created in the same proximity placement group.
