Not even sure this is possible- I want to create a dynamic VHD, and then mount it on my win 8.1 machine to copy files onto it. The goal would then be to upload that vhd to the cloud to mount in an AMI or azure VM instance.

I can create the VHD okay in hyper-v manager, but I can't seem to mount it in win8.1 without having to convert it to a non-dynamic disk.

I'm not sure how much data I will need to copy onto the drive and because I have to upload it it's important its as small as possible. Would be uncool to upload a 500GB VHD that only has 1k of data on it.

Can I do this? If so, how?

Are you sure you’re not confusing things here? A dynamically-expanding VHD can still contain any partitioning schema. I’d stick to GPT.

VHDs are best created and attached using Disk Management:
