I moved image from one machine to another. Problem is - I didn't shut down' instance, just suspended it.

On machine #1 I have 32G and instance had 16Gb allocated. On machine #2 I have only 10G and instance won't resume (due to memory)

But I can't lower amount of memory - I guess because machine in "suspended".

Anyway to lower memory or "shut down" instance without powering? How do I start it on machine #2?
