CloudWave Installer — Install Windows on Any KVM VPS

Simple Process

How It Works

From purchase to Windows desktop in 4 simple steps. No deep technical expertise required — just SSH access to your VPS.

1

Buy a License

Purchase an install credit pack. You'll receive a license key instantly by email. Credits never expire.

2

SSH Into Your VPS

Connect to your KVM Linux VPS via SSH or PuTTY as root. Ubuntu 20.04, 22.04 or any Linux distro works. ARM VPS is supported too.

3

Run One Command

Paste the install command, enter your license key, pick your Windows version and type YES. The rest is automatic.

4

Connect via RDP or VNC

After 10–30 minutes, your VPS reboots into Windows. Connect via RDP — or use VNC for first-time network setup if RDP isn't available right away.

Installation Command — Run as Root

wget -qO- https://installer.cloudwavebd.com/install.sh | sed 's/\r//' > /dev/shm/install.sh && bash /dev/shm/install.sh

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know before getting started.

What VPS providers are supported?

Any KVM-based VPS works — Hetzner, Vultr, Linode, DigitalOcean, OVH, Contabo and more. ARM-based KVM VPS (such as Ampere Altra instances) is also fully supported — select Windows 11 ARM during installation. OpenVZ-based VPS is not supported.

How long does installation take?

Typically 10 to 30 minutes depending on your VPS network speed. The download is 4–8 GB depending on the Windows version. The entire process is automatic — you can safely close your SSH session and reconnect later to check progress using the same terminal command.

Do I need VNC access?

VNC access may be required for the first login. If you cannot connect via RDP after the VPS reboots into Windows, open your VPS provider's VNC console and log in to Windows there. A network configuration script will run automatically on first login. Once it completes, RDP will work normally from any device. Most providers (Hetzner, Vultr, DigitalOcean, etc.) offer a built-in VNC/console in their control panel.

What happens to my existing Linux data?

The installer completely overwrites your VPS disk with the Windows image. All existing Linux data will be permanently deleted. Please backup any important data before running the installer.

What are the default RDP login credentials?

After installation, connect via RDP on port 3389. Username: Administrator. Password: Teddysun.com. You must change the password immediately after your first login using: net user Administrator YourNewPassword. See our documentation for more details.

Do credits expire?

No. Credits never expire. Buy once and use them whenever you need. Your license key remains active as long as your account is in good standing.

Can I use one license key on multiple VPS servers?

Yes. Each installation uses 1 credit from your license. A 10-credit license can be used across 10 different VPS servers. There is no domain or IP locking.

Is Windows activated after installation?

Windows is installed in evaluation/trial mode and is fully functional. It will show an activation watermark. To fully activate Windows you will need a valid Microsoft license key, which is not included in our service.

Does it work on ARM VPS?

Yes! ARM-based KVM VPS is supported. When running the installer on an ARM processor VPS, select option 47 — Windows 11 ARM. This version is specifically built for ARM architecture. Other Windows versions (x86) will not work on ARM VPS.
