This article will explain how to change the operating system of your Cloud VPS. The process is very easy and can be done through the control panel. The process applies to both Linux VPS and Windows VPS.
You can change the operating system of your VPS from Windows to Linux, or from Linux to Windows if your Cloud VPS is of the KVM type. If it is LXC, only Linux distribution options will be available.
Warning: This procedure will erase all data on the VPS. Back up all files on the VPS before proceeding with this procedure.
- Log in to your account in the client area, go to the page of your services, and click on the VPS you want to format:
- Then scroll down to the VPS control panel (it may take a few seconds to load), and then click on OS Reinstall:
- The screen where you will select the new operating system will then be displayed
- After choosing the operating system, set your password, and click "Reinstall".
Done! After that, just wait for the installation to finish, and your VPS will be available with the new operating system within minutes. It is important to let the installation complete.
If you selected Windows Server, the installation may take up to 20 minutes, as these images are heavier to install.
