I'm currently working through the exercise "Create a Windows virtual machine" on the Microsoft Learn site. However, after completing step 4 and then clicking Create on step 5 ("Select Create. The Create a virtual machine pane appears"), I’m redirected to a page where I have to choose one of the following options:

  • Start an Azure free trial
  • Manage Microsoft Entra ID
  • Access student benefits

Is there any way to complete this exercise without starting a free trial?

For reference, here’s the link to the exercise I’m following: Create a Windows virtual machine.

I was hoping to work through the exercise without having to set up a trial. Any guidance would be much appreciated.

Thanks!

    Self resolved. The Sandbox hadn't kicked in when I tried the first time!

    All sorted!
