Taking a bricklayer as an example to introduce how to install Windows system with one-click DD on Linux VPS

Many foreign VPS only provide Linux systems. If you want to use a Windows VPS, you can do it through Linux DD Windows. This article takes Bricklayer VPS as an example to share a detailed one-click DD Windows tutorial to install Windows on Linux VPS.

1. Introduction to DD command

DD is a command on Unix and Unix-like systems. Its main function is to convert and copy files. The DD command can write a remote system image, such as a Windows system image, to the hard disk for installation.

The advantages of installing Linux into Windows through the DD command include two points:

• No additional licensing fees for Windows systems
• Freely choose the Windows version, you can use CentOS/Ubuntu/Debian to install Windows 7, Windows 8, WIndows 10, Windows Server 2012/2016/2019, etc. with one-click DD

The following will take the Bricklayer VPS as an example to introduce how to DD a Windows system on Linux. If you do not have a suitable VPS, you can also choose the Bricklayer VPS and use the Bricklayer VPS to install Windows: "Bricklayer Registration And purchase tutorial, support Alipay, recurring discount code 6.38%》

2. One-click DD Windows tutorial

First of all, let’s introduce a Windows DD command script that is widely circulated on the Internet: developed and maintained by Vicer, it can realize fully automatic installation of Windows systems without the need for VNC mode or rescue mode. After the installation is completed, you can log in to the system directly through remote desktop.

Notes on using the one-click Windows system script:

• Supports KVM/XEN architecture, does not support OpenVZ
• Support CentOS, Ubuntu, Debian
• More than 2GB of memory recommended

The first step is to use the script on Linux VPS

Here we take Windows 7 as an example to introduce how to use this one-click DD Windows script.

After connecting to the Linux VPS remotely (you can use the terminal for Mac, or Xshell for Windows: "Xshell Tutorial: Using Xshell to Connect to Linux"), just copy the following command (if you want to DD to another system, then Replace the link after -dd with the Windows DD image address compiled for everyone in the third part):

bash <(wget --no-check-certificate -qO- 'https://moeclub.org/attachment/LinuxShell/InstallNET.sh') -dd "https://image.moeclub.org/GoogleDrive/1srhylymTjYS-Ky8uLw4R6LCWfAo1F3s7 "

After using the script, your remote connection will be automatically disconnected.

Step 2, use VNC to view the installation process (optional)

The advantage of using this script is that you don’t need to check the progress. Just wait for about 15 minutes and then connect remotely directly after the DD is successful. Of course, if your VPS has the VNC function, you can check the current installation progress through VNC. For example, I am using the Bricklayer VPS here. After connecting to VNC, you can see the specific installation progress (tutorial: "Bricklayer VNC" Function/Online SSH login tutorial sharing》):

The third step, connect to Windows remotely

After waiting for DD Windows to succeed, you can directly connect remotely locally. Windows can use remote connection directly, and Mac can use Remote Desktop: "Microsoft Remote Desktop: Free mac remote desktop connection Windows software".

Of course, you can also view it directly through the VNC function, or take the bricklayer as an example:
