Here is the error message I got,

Looking at the error you have posted.

ConvertTo-NcVHD : Non-negative number required.

In Virtual environment number (or integer) is used to denote child process workers to service requests.

By default, the number of CPUs available is set as the value for workers.

Positive integer value (typically equal to the number of CPUs).
