  Add SPL key windows evaluation 2025 to OVH license panel, and you can install easy by using windows temple in control panel

  Please explain more details...

  With OVH you can bring your own Windows license key to a server. When you do, you get an option to install a windows image when you re-install the server. The license can be a demo license or whatever. I doubt they have images for windows 2025 though.

  I’m in exactly the same situation here on OVH KS-A and KS-B dedicated servers.
  I’ve spent the last day and a half trying every possible method I could find, still can’t get Windows 11 or Windows Server 2025 to install successfully.

  If anyone has managed to install Windows Server 2025 on OVH KS-A or KS-B, please share how you did it, whether through a custom ISO, modified installer, or a BIOS setting I might have missed.

  Would really appreciate any insights. 🙏

  I am not sure but I think using reinstall with windows 11 tiny will probably work

  Try installing using an older version. Win 11 ver 23H2.

  Thank you, they have only Server 2016 and 2019, not even 2022

  I’ve already tried the reinstall script with Windows 11 Pro and LTSC , but unfortunately, neither worked. Since you mentioned Tiny11, I’ll give that a try next, thanks for the suggestion!
