What you purchased was just a reservation, it was not the VM its self. You have paid upfront for the cost of the VM (or VMs) of a specific family to get a discounted price. Now you just need to create a VM of the same family you created a reservice instance for, in the normal way you would create a VM. This will then use the reservation you created.
Azure Reserved VM Instances - How to Connect/Login
I have created one 'Reserved VM Instance'. After successful creation, I tried to find out ways to login that machine but I am not able to find it through portal.
During the creation, I was not asked to install or choose the operating system? Will this VM be having operating system installed on it? Also is there a way I can look for the Operating System installed on that machine?
I searched through the documentation but could not find any way to identify this and how to connect to this virtual machine from my Windows 10 system.
