I want to learn basics of dynamics crm 2011 and 2013.

I have MS azure subscription where I do have access to Dynamics CRM virtual machines. These virtual machines have the following flavors for Dynamics CRM

GP 2013 Developer

GP 2013 R12

NAV 2015

GP 2015

Which one of the above 4 virtual machine setup should I use just to learn very basics of Dynamics CRM? Specially the jquery part and some customization.

I am very new at CRM but have lot of back ground in asp.net mvc c# programming.

I would use one of the SQL Server images and deploy everything on a single server if you want to test it out. Technically, it is not supported, but for evaluation purposes, this is the cheapest and easiest way.

Here's a tutorial that walks you through the steps for CRM 2013: http://www.slideshare.net/jukkan/microsoft-dynamics-crm-2013-development-server-installation
