Quickstart: Create a Windows virtual
machine in the Azure portal
Article + 01/05/2024
Applies to: Windows VMs
Azure virtual machines (VMs) can be created through the Azure portal. This method
provides a browser-based user interface to create VMs and their associated resources. This
quickstart shows you how to use the Azure portal to deploy a virtual machine (VM) in Azure
that runs Windows Server 2019. To see your VM in action, you then RDP to the VM and
install the IIS web server.
If you don't have an Azure subscription, create a free account _ before you begin.

Coordinated Universal Time is the default setting in the Time zone dropdown.
For more information see Auto-shutdown.
Next steps
In this quickstart, you deployed a simple virtual machine, opened a network port for web
traffic, and installed a basic web server. To learn more about Azure virtual machines,
