MOve Azure Resources From One Subscription to Another

We have been using Microsoft Azure Recovery Services Agent to back up local servers for the last 4 years.

About a year ago when I logged in to the Azure portal, I was prompted to choose "work or school account" or "personal account".

If I choose "work or school account" there are no resources there. No resource group or backup vaults. If I choose "personal account" all the backups and resources are there.

Not sure how this happened but I want to move the resources from "personal" to "work".

When I try using the "move" utility under the subscription tab I get an error that says "you do not have any subscriptions to move resources to. Please create a new subscription"

I have two subscriptions, a work and a personal.

Any idea how I can move the resources from the "personal" to the "work" account? Is this something Microsoft has to do on the back end?

thanks,

When I follow the steps and I choose "change" next to the subscription name I get the error in the attached image.

I do have a "work" account in Azure along with the "personal" account.

I'm trying to move the resource group, which contains 4 years worth of backups of on premises server data, from "personal" to "work"

Any suggestions?

you have to add the subscription to your account

Do I add the personal subscription to the work account?

The personal subscription is the one that contains the recovery services vault.

Thanks for your assistance. I had to contact Azure support to complete this task. It is a bit more complicated to move a subscription from a "Personal" account to a "Work" account.
