Stop VM, copy vhd, convert from dynamic to fixed, restore and run VM

Hi All

I am experiencing a dumb problem that I should have prevented. Allow me to first explain my setup

Host:

C: 50 GB

D: 700GB

VM

C: Dynamic disk (now 40GB)

The trouble that I have now is that my VM c drive is now full which in turn filled up my host c drive. I wanted to convert my vm to a fixed drive but I cannot because the c drive of my host is almost full and I need free space that is equivalent to my VM c drive for me to do the conversion. My question is that I have 400GB free on my host's D drive and was wondering whether it would be possible for me to convert my drive and set the output destination as my d drive or perhaps start with copying my vhd file to my d drive then do the conversion there and then delete the old one from the c drive and restore vm using the new fixed vhd.

I must mention that I am new to hyperV

Thanks
