    Hi raj_ldo That would definitely work. One other suggestion (while it is still free) would be to create a trial capacity, move your workspaces to that capacity and then delete C1 and scale the C2 capacity to an F32.

    Hi raj_ldo ,

    Thanks for reaching out to the Microsoft fabric community forum.

     

    Power BI doesn't allow for the direct merging of two separate capacities, such as combining two 16 v-core capacities into a single 32 v-core capacity. Each capacity is managed independently, so resources cannot be pooled together.

     

    Here's the best approach:
    - First, upgrade one of your existing capacities (for example, C2) from 16 to 32 v-cores using the Microsoft 365 Admin Center or Azure portal, depending on your purchase method.
    - Next, move all workspaces from C1 to the upgraded C2.
    - After confirming a successful migration, delete C1 to eliminate unnecessary costs.


    Transferring v-cores directly between capacities isn't possible, so this upgrade-and-migrate process is the most effective solution.


    Best Regards,
    Tejaswi.
