title: How do I create a virtual machine on azure when there are no sizes available for my subscription/location
body: <h1>Context</h1>
  
  <p>I am trying to create my first virtual machine in azure. </p>
  
  <p>I have a pay as you go subscription, I have created a resource group  </p>
  
  <h1>Steps to create issue</h1>
  
  <ul>
  <li>I click the button that says 'add a virtual machine'</li>
  <li>I fill in the details of the resource group, I add the region (west germany as I am currently in germany), and I press the button marked 'size'.</li>
  <li>A nice drop down list of all the sizes appears, and every single item on the list is greyed out. </li>
  </ul>
  
  <h1>What I have tried</h1>
  
  <ul>
  <li>I did a google search, but most questions seemed to be about 'specific sizes not available in their region'. At the moment I would be happy if there was even one size available</li>
  <li>I tried waiting 24 hours in case it was a glitch and tried again, and it was just the same. </li>
  <li>The first time I tried I was on the free subscription, but I have upgraded to pay as you go</li>
  <li>I asked microsoft on their chat and after an initial look, they said an expert would get to me in two or three working days. </li>
  <li>I tried creating new resource groups, and changing the region (lots of different regions tried)</li>
  </ul>
  
  <h1>Error messages</h1>
  
  <p>There is no message as such: just all entries being greyed out, and a mouse over (i) that says <code>Size not available
  This size is currently unavailable in this location for this subscription: NotAvailableForSubscription</code></p>
