Here are simple step-by-step instructions for reinstalling a different OS on a VPS via Virtualizor:
Note: Before proceeding, ensure you have taken a backup of all your important data, as reinstalling the OS will result in data loss.
Step 1: Access Virtualizor Control Panel
- Log in to your Virtualizor account using your username and password.

Step 2: Locate the VPS

Step 5: Confirm Reinstallation
- After selecting the new OS template, you will be presented with a confirmation prompt.
