I currently do not have a laptop which is why I'm trying this rout. But along trading I'm going to be building complex bots, So I'll need to backtest bots. I am also working on lead, scoring, enrichment, ai automated business. So what ever is the best set up for these jobs ID like to know. Oh I'm also on free credits . I also have no idea what I'm doing so please help

    Hello @John Hegdal - Thanks for reaching Microsoft QnA platform

    Setting Up Your Azure Windows VM

      1. Create an Azure Account: Since you're using free credits, make sure you have an Azure account set up. If you haven’t done this already, you can start at Azure Free Account.
      2. Go to the Azure Portal: Sign in to Azure Portal.
      3. Create a Virtual Machine:
        • In the Azure Portal, search for and select "Virtual machines".
        • Click on Create and then choose Azure Virtual Machine.
        • Fill out the necessary information:
        • Virtual Machine Name: Choose a name for your VM.
        • Region: Select a region closest to you for better performance.
        • Image: Select Windows Server 2022 Datacenter (or any other Windows version you prefer).
        • Size: The portal will suggest a size based on your workload; for trading and bot development, a standard size should be fine.
        • Administrator Username and Password: Create a username and a strong password (at least 12 characters).
        • Under Inbound port rules, select Allow selected ports and include RDP (3389) to enable remote desktop access.
      4. Review and Create: After filling in the details, click on Review + create and then Create to deploy your VM. This may take around 10-20 minutes.
      5. Connect to Your VM:
        • Once the VM is running, you can connect via Remote Desktop (RDP).
        • Download and install a Remote Desktop application on your Android device if you haven’t done so already.
        • Use the public IP address of your VM, along with the username and password you created, to log in. Things to Consider
      • Performance Needs: If you are planning on building and backtesting complex bots, ensure that the VM size you choose has enough CPU and memory resources to handle your workloads efficiently.
      • Cost Management: Since you are using the free tier, keep an eye on your credits to avoid unexpected charges. Learn more about managing costs in Azure here.
