converting Microsoft Network Monitor 3.4 capture file to “wireshark/tcpdump”

Hi. I want to convert Microsoft Network Monitor 3.4 capture file to "wireshark/tcpdump"

Wireshark reads the capture file but the "save as" is greyed out

What type of network (Ethernet, Wi-Fi, etc.) was it captured on? Not all Network Monitor network types can be saved as pcap or pcapng files.

Wi-Fi captures from Network Monitor cannot be converted to pcap or pcapng captures, because there's no link-layer header type value for use in pcap/pcapng captures that corresponds to the type of radio metadata provided in Network Monitor Wi-Fi captures.

Deleted my answer, WiFi capture wasn't there when I wrote it.
