I want to create a virtual machine on Microsoft Azure, but I am facing difficulty as it starts loading for a long time, and I am unable to continue. Also, I am confused: Will it take charges to create a virtual machine using a free Microsoft Azure account?

Hi Riaz, hope you're doing well. The free one-month trial allows you to create a virtual machine for free.

Hi Asiya Riaz,
Welcome to the Microsoft Q&A Platform. Thank you for posting your query here.
The Azure free account offers a limited quantity of free services for 12 months, as well as a selection of services that are always free. However, not all services are available for free, and some have usage limits. Please select a virtual machine (VM) size that is eligible for the Free Trial subscription. For example, the free account includes access to only one type of VM for free: the B1S Burstable B series, which can be used for up to 750 hours per month.
If you are encountering issues while creating a VM in the Free Trial subscription, I recommend you try to deploy in a different region, as there may be capacity issues in certain regions.
You can refer to the following quick start guides for instructions on how to deploy Azure VMs in your subscription:
Additionally, please refer to these links for more information about Free Trial accounts:
