Answer 1

Hi

Thanks for reaching out to Microsoft Q&A.

This account is offered specifically for students to practice exams/certifications and lab sessions, I dont think any graphics or any specific non MS oriented tasks are encouraged/supported. Can you also check with your school learning administrator regarding this.?

Please note that Microsoft Certification/Exams is currently not supported in this Q&A forums.

Refer the dedicated Microsoft Certification for your queries regarding exams, scores or exam results here:

Answer 2

Hello, @Khushal Kaushik !

@Vinodh247 has provided a good answer here and I'd like to add an official quote that will help you understand why it's so difficult to get a GPU family VM on a free account right now (probably not the answer you are looking for, but hopefully it will save you some time).

Why can't I find a GPU family VM on my free/student account?

GPU family VMs are very popular at the moment so you'll need to check for GPU availability (South Central US is usually a good place to start) and new/promotional subscriptions would have lower priority than paid subscriptions in regions with limited availability:

Before implementing any restrictions on customers, we first pull every lever available to expedite new capacity, and to preserve existing capacity – this includes shaping internal customers to non-constrained regions whenever possible. If these steps are not sufficient to avoid a capacity shortfall, we then implement “offer restrictions” which prevent newly-created subscriptions from being able to deploy to the constrained region.

Additional capacity is being added around the clock but there is also a very high demand for GPU family VMs, so I would set your expectations accordingly when using a free/student account.
