The time required to reinstall a cloud server system depends on several factors, including the operating system being installed, the server's hardware specifications, and the network speed. Typically, reinstalling a lightweight system like Linux (e.g., Ubuntu or CentOS) may take 5–15 minutes, while a heavier system like Windows Server could take 15–30 minutes or more.
For example, if you're reinstalling Ubuntu 20.04 on a standard cloud server with a stable network connection, the process might complete in about 10 minutes. In contrast, installing Windows Server 2019 could take around 20–30 minutes due to larger installation files and additional setup steps.
