I'm pretty new to servers/cloud computing so please bear with me.

Instance image: windows-server-1809-dc-core-for-containers-v20200908

My issue is that when I try to connect through SSH to my instance, the Putty client keeps timing out. But I can access the instance through Remote Desktop Connection just fine.

I have already configured the public and private keys as detailed here.I have already added exceptions to the Firewall and tried disabling it alltogether. This is my relevant Putty config: enter image description here enter image description here enter image description here enter image description here

The whole reason I'm trying to connect via Putty is that I want to use X11 forwarding (with Xming) to run remotely a program with GUI. I'm trying to run Stata 16. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Turns out I didn't have SSH enabled server-side. Here's the web-page with the relevant info on how to do this.

By default GCP Windows images do not have the SSH agent pre-installed. You will need to manually install the SSH agent
