What can you still do with a 2c1g Windows VM on Azure now?

I got this VPS from a student subscription. Thanks to its specs plus Windows, it's been sitting idle for over a year. I have absolutely no clue what to do with this machine, but letting it sit there feels like a waste. Do you guys have any recommendations?
Sorry for the machine translation🙏

Nothing. Convert to linux, debian.
Azure's free tier comes with one Linux VM and one Windows VM. The Linux one runs great and I've got a bunch of stuff on it, but if I reinstall the Windows one as Linux, it'll go over the free limit. That's why I've kept it as Windows.
2vcores and 1GB ram????? and windows on it, how much storage?
60G
Running Windows Server 2012 R2
The free limit of what? The number of times you can reinstall?
I can't think of any resources that Linux uses more than Windows.
I find Alpine is ideal on 1 GB memory. It gives a lot more breathing room than Debian.
Free limit of linux servers in free tier
