What is the cost difference to deploy a VM with Windows 11 OS comparing to "Windows Server 2022 Datacenter Azure Edition" assuming all other configurations for the VM is same, and the difference is only with the OS? I do not see an option to specify the OS version (apart from Windows or Linux) in the pricing calculator.

    Hello @Falcon Francis Apologies for delayed response.

    From the description I understand that you want to know the "Cost difference to deploy a VM with Windows 11 OS comparing to "Windows Server 2022 Datacenter Azure Edition"

    While using the client OS in Azure either Win 11 or 10, we only charge the compute infra cost. 

    The Client OS license is always BYOS : 

    This is the snip when you try to deploy Win 11 or 10:
