    Automatically
    Available for versions: MS Windows server 2012 on the default tab "VPS, Applications, WebApps> Applications".

  6. Now connect to the remote screen using the web console or VNC client.

You can leave the partition setup at the discretion of the installer program and continue with the "Next" button. When you reinstall VPS, you may encounter multiple partitions and other formatting.
