## Azure Advisor Recommendation
299+
300+
Azure Advisor populates an **Enable Trusted Launch Compatible Images and VM Sizes for Existing Generation 2 VMs** operational excellence recommendation for existing Generation 2 VMs to adopt [Trusted Launch](trusted-launch.md), a higher security posture for Azure VMs at no additional cost to you. Ensure Generation 2 VM has all prerequisites to migrate to Trusted Launch, follow all the best practices including validation of OS image, VM Size, and creating restore points. For the Advisor recommendation to be considered complete, follow the steps outlined in the [**Enable Trusted Launch on an existing VM**](trusted-launch-existing-vm.md) to upgrade the virtual machines security type and enable Trusted Launch.

### What if there is Generation 2 VMs, that doesn't fit the prerequistes for Trusted Launch ?
303+
304+
For a Generation 2 VM, that has not met the prerequistes to upgrade to Trusted Launch, look how to fulfill the prerequistes.
305+
1. If using an OS image not supported, upgrade to Trusted Launch|Gen2 image, most Windows OS support Trusted Launch except Windows 2012 Datacenter offerings. In the case of Linux OS, upgrade to the newest SKU offered by the image distribution.
306+
2. If using a virtual machine size not supported, please look for an [equivalant Trusted Launch supported size](/sizes/resize-vm.md) that supports Trusted Launch.
