Correct answer: Set a Windows username and password in the Cloud Console, verify a firewall rule for port 3389 exists, click the RDP button in the Console, and supply the credentials..
Why this is the answer
The correct option outlines the most straightforward method for connecting to a Windows VM. Setting a Windows username and password in the Cloud Console is crucial for RDP authentication. Verifying a firewall rule for port 3389 (the default RDP port) ensures network access. The "RDP" button in the Console automates the connection process, prompting for the credentials you set. Incorrect options: Installing an RDP client and verifying a firewall rule is incomplete; you still need credentials. Installing an RDP client and setting credentials is also incomplete; you need to ensure the firewall allows the connection. Port 22 is for SSH, not RDP, which is used for Linux VMs, not Windows.
