# Locations & OS

> PL/DE, Linux/Windows, reinstall

## Locations

The location is chosen when you order the server. **Moving between locations isn't supported** — if you need a different one, order a new server.

  <Card title="Germany · DE" icon="location-dot" />
</CardGroup>

<Note>
  More locations may be added over time — the current set is always shown in the bot when you order.
</Note>

## Operating systems

You choose the OS when you order and can switch it later via reinstall. The default is **Ubuntu 22.04**.

<Tabs>
  <Tab title="Linux">
    Ubuntu 22.04 / 24.04 / 26.04, Debian 12 / 13, Alma Linux 9 / 10, Rocky Linux 9 / 10, CentOS 10, FreeBSD 14.
  </Tab>

  <Tab title="Windows">
    Windows Server 2022 / 2025, Windows 10 / 11.

    Windows 10 and Server 2022 — from **VPS-2**; Windows 11 and Server 2025 — from **VPS-3**. No license surcharge.

## Reinstalling the OS

To switch the OS or start from a clean server, tap **Reinstall** and pick a system from the list.

<Warning>
  A reinstall **wipes all data** on the server. Save anything you need beforehand — see [Backups](/en/vps/backups). The same applies to resetting a forgotten password via reinstall.
</Warning>

<Steps>
  <Step title="Open the bot">
    Open [@lumivps\_bot](https://t.me/lumivps_bot) → **My Services** → pick the server you need.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Choose an OS">
    Tap **Reinstall** and choose the operating system from the list.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Confirm">
    Confirm the action. The reinstall takes a few minutes.
  </Step>
