Azure VM Ubuntu installation - disk size selection not possible

Question

I want to create a Ubuntu VM in Azure but the disc space is not selectable.
I have a $100 monthly student account in Azure.

Is it not possible to create a VM with such an account?

@Student1 Thank you for reaching out to Microsoft Q&A. I understand that you are having issues with disk selection not available for your student account.

It looks like there are capacity issues in few regions and there were few other customers who reported similar issues and below are few of them:

Please try to deploy the VM in West Europe as few customers acknowledged that this workaround helped in successfully deploying the VM.

Hope this helps.
