Introduction

This section describes how to deploy a Windows environment by reinstalling the system with eSurfing Cloud image. If you have purchased an ECS and want to switch to Windows system, or want to use the image to redeploy an environment with other software pre-installed, you can refer to the introduction and guidance of this document.

For restrictions and limitations on reinstalling the system, see Reinstalling the Operating System.
