The OS Installation feature allows users to reload a virtual machine (VM) with a fresh operating system. This feature is commonly used for switching OS platforms, fixing system issues, or starting fresh with a clean OS environment.
Operating System
- Select the new OS from a dropdown menu.
- Choose from pre-configured images (e.g., Linux or Windows versions).
Password
- Set a new password for the admin account (root for Linux, Administrator for Windows).
- Use a strong password to secure the VM.
Confirm Password
- Re-enter the password to confirm it matches.
- This ensures accuracy and prevents typos.
IMPORTANT: OS Installation feature is not available when your virtual machine is in rescue mode. Please exit rescue mode before you proceed with fresh OS Installation.
