Exchange my current convertible reserved "Windows (Amazon VPC), t3.medium instance" to "Windows t3.medium Instance"

Question

I have a running "On-Demand Windows t3.medium instance".  To convert this to a reserved instance billing, I bought a convertible reserved  "Windows (Amazon VPC), t3.medium instance".

However, I am told that this does not match my existing running instance.  How can I exchange or convert my reserved instance to match my on-demand instance so that I get the benefit of reserved pricing ?

Answer

You can submit a modification request following the instruction in this [document](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSEC2/latest/UserGuide/ri-modifying.html). However can you elaborate more on your question? If you purchase a Reserved Instance and you already have a running ON-Demand instance that matches the specifications of the Reserved Instance, the billing discount is applied immediately and automatically.
