Step-by-Step: Your First Windows VPS Deployment
A complete walkthrough from selecting your Windows edition to connecting over RDP in under 5 minutes.
### Prerequisites
- A KVM-based Linux VPS (Ubuntu, Debian, AlmaLinux, CentOS, or Rocky Linux).
- Root access via SSH.
- At least 1.5 GB of RAM (2 GB+ recommended for Windows Server 2022/2025).
### Step 1: Choose Your OS Image
Navigate to your **LinWin Cloud Dashboard** and select your preferred Windows version (e.g. Windows Server 2025 Datacenter).
### Step 2: Set Administrator Credentials
Enter your desired Windows Administrator password. LinWin Cloud enforces strong complexity requirements to ensure immediate protection against brute-force attacks.
### Step 3: Run the Deploy One-Liner
Copy the generated curl command:
```bash
curl -sSL https://linwin.site/deploy/your-token | bash
```
Paste it into your VPS SSH terminal as `root`. You can monitor stdout logs in real-time right from your LinWin Cloud web console!
### Step 4: Connect via RDP
Once deployment reaches 100%, click the **Download RDP File** button on your deployments page or connect using your VPS IP address with user `Administrator`.
