These Windows Server 2022 and 2025 Azure Edition images are listed in both the Hotpatchable section (lines 87-97) and the non-Hotpatchable section (lines 126-131, 138-141). Each image should only appear in one section based on whether it supports hotpatching or not. Please verify which section is correct for each image and remove the duplicates.

The hotpatch preview image "windows-server-2022-azure-edition-hotpatch" should not be in the non-Hotpatchable Windows Images section. This image is already listed in the Hotpatchable section (line 95). Please remove this duplicate entry.

Windows Server 2025 Azure Edition images are listed in both the Hotpatchable section (lines 87-90) and the non-Hotpatchable section (lines 138-141). Additionally, the hotpatch preview image on line 146 should not be in the non-Hotpatchable section as it's already listed in the Hotpatchable section (line 91). Please remove these duplicates and ensure each image appears in only one section.
