This guide walks you through the entire process, from updating your Linux VPS to connecting to Windows via Remote Desktop.

Why Install Windows on a VPS?

Installing Windows on a VPS can be useful for:

• Running Windows-only applications or software testing
• Hosting .NET applications or Windows services
• Using RDP access for remote work

Requirements

Before starting, ensure you have:

• A KVM-based VPS (this method does not work on OpenVZ or LXC)
• At least 20GB of free disk space
• Root SSH access to your VPS

Step 1: Update Your Linux VPS

Keep your system up to date before installing Windows:

apt update && apt upgrade -y

This ensures all packages are current and reduces potential errors during installation.

Step 2: Install curl (or wget)

We’ll need a tool to download the reinstall script:

apt install curl -y

If curl isn’t available, wget works too.

Step 3: Download the Windows Reinstall Script

Download the script from GitHub using either command:

curl -O https://raw.githubusercontent.com/bin456789/reinstall/main/reinstall.sh
# OR
wget -O reinstall.sh https://raw.githubusercontent.com/bin456789/reinstall/main/reinstall.sh

This script handles Windows installation, drivers, and RDP setup automatically.

Step 4: Run the Script to Install Windows

Execute the script with your desired Windows image and password:

bash reinstall.sh windows --image-name "Windows 10 Enterprise LTSC 2021" --lang en-US --password 86931changeTHISlater51892

What this does:

• Installs Windows 10 Enterprise LTSC 2021
• Creates the Administrator account with your password
• Enables RDP access
• Installs drivers automatically

Important: Change the password after the first login for security.

Step 5: Connect to Windows via RDP

Once the script finishes and the VPS reboots, connect using Remote Desktop (RDP):

• Host/IP: Your VPS IP address
• Username: Administrator
• Password: The one you set in Step 4

Now you have a fully functional Windows VPS ready for work or testing.

Security Tips

• Change the default password immediately
• Enable Windows Firewall
• Consider setting up RDP access over VPN for extra security
