We don't plan to upgrade due to lack of resource and it is on premise. However, do u know there is a way to put it on azure without too much work ? I heard azure has magic to do that
My friend there is no magic when it comes to Dynamics. Trust me you will spend a lot of money and then feel cheated. If you want you can do a trial run with Azure but I have a feeling you will not have a good experience.

Putting it to azure is as easy as creating images of your servers and then uploading it but we should also consider our end goal and supportability. Dynamics CRM 2011 is not actively being supported hence there is a risk involved.
How to upload all of 2011 dynamics to azure?
Hi ITSolutionWizard,

Ideally, you should create an installation of CRM 2011 in Azure using VM(s) and then from OnPremise upload your CRM 2011 database to Azure VMs and perform database import.

Also, I suggest if you have a very different question than the original one, start a new question and tag appropriate areas so other experts can also join the conversation.

Chinmay.
Do you have more information in details how to do that?

And do I have to upload anything from the Domain controller? If yes, please share with me how to do that.

Thanks
I suggest you create a fresh installation of Dynamics CRM 2011 and then import CRM database using Deployment manager. You will have to map your users to the Domain Controller you create in Azure.
