Trying to follow the MS-900 training through learn.microsoft.com. It directs me to setup a free developer account so that I can follow along in a sandbox environment. From what I'm researching this is now not possible to setup as they no longer offer this service. Is there an alternative to purchasing this sandbox environment, or would someone be able to update this page in the training to reflect this no longer works. I wasted an hour of study time trying to track down a way to make this work.
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/training/modules/what-is-m365/5-explore-microsoft-365-tenant this is the page it was located on.

If feasible, obtaining a Visual Studio Enterprise subscription will grant you access to the Microsoft 365 E5 developer sandbox.
For hands-on practice, consider subscribing to a single-license Microsoft 365 plan.
Thanks, I will have to look into these options. I work for a company and have an E5 licenses thru work, but I didn't have access to the development options.
