Hello Laxmanprabhu

Welcome to Microsoft Q&A Platform, thanks for posting your query here.

Can you please provide me with more information about the issue you are facing? Are you receiving any error messages? Also, can you please share the PowerShell script you are using to create the VM?

Please find the powershell script here. If I run this script, I get an unable to find the Windows 10 image error.

New-AzVm `
    -ResourceGroupName "Test_group" `
    -Name "myVM2" `
    -Location "EastUS" `
    -VirtualNetworkName "WhizTech" `
    -SubnetName "default" `
    -SecurityGroupName "whiz-Ind" `
    -PublicIpAddressName "whizvm-2" `
    -ImageName "Windows 10 Pro, version 22H2 - x64 Gen2" `
    -OpenPorts 80,3389

Hello Laxmanprabhu

Thanks for sharing more details:

The error message you are receiving is because the image name you are using is incorrect. The image name should be "Win10" instead of "Windows 10 Pro, version 22H2 - x64 Gen2".

Please try the following PowerShell script to create a Windows 10 VM:

New-AzVm ` -ResourceGroupName "Test_group" ` -Name "myVM2" ` -Location "EastUS" ` -VirtualNetworkName "WhizTech" ` -SubnetName "default" ` -SecurityGroupName "whiz-Ind" ` -PublicIpAddressName "whizvm-2" ` -ImageName "Win10" ` -Size "Standard_B2s" ` -Credential (Get-Credential) ` -OpenPorts 3389

This script creates a new Windows 10 VM in the "EastUS" region, using the "WhizTech" virtual network and "default" subnet. It also creates a new public IP address and opens port 3389 for remote desktop access.

Please note that you will be prompted to enter your Azure credentials when you run this script.

Hope this helps.

Hi @vipullag-MSFT

I got the following error while executing the script

New-AzVM: The platform image 'MicrosoftVisualStudio:Windows:Windows-10-N-x64:latest' is not available. Verify that all fields in the storage profile are correct. For more details about storage profile information, please refer to https://aka.ms/storageprofile

Hi @vipullag-MSFT

This is weird and I am not sure why it is failing at your end. I have tested the script in my environment and shared with you. I was able to successfully deploy Win10 vm with the shared script. Adding screenshots for your reference.

It could be issue on your subscription related to the image availability.

I would request you to find a list of available images in the Azure Marketplace by running the following command:

Get-AzVMImageOffer -Location <location> -Publisher MicrosoftWindowsServer

Also, try in different region and with different image and see if that succeeds.

Please refer these documents for more details:

Hello Laxmanprabhu

Thanks for responding back, please retry the deployment with the script previously shared. It should work. If you are still running into issue then as suggested in my previous response please try with different image/region and sku size.

Hello Laxmanprabhu
Can you confirm that you are getting this error when you tried deploying VM with another image and in another region.

Hello Laxmanprabhu

Thanks for confirming on retrying in another region, can you also confirm if you have tried with another image?

So, you are able to create VM's successfully with other images and you are facing issue deploying Win10 image in any region?
