Answer 1

It looks like you are running a GCP free tier according to this .

In any case, like normal usage of Windows the use of the software have cost. I would recommend you to review the specifications you need, and estimate the cost it would have to run your VM on a payment model. Take a look at this calculator , it will help you in your estimation.

In addition Google Cloud Platform offers you significant discounts if you make the commitment to use the same type of VM and/or software for a long period of time. You can see the details here .

Getting back to your answer is not an issue, it's just the normal limitation of the free trial.
