What are the minimum system requirements for installing Windows Vista?

Asked a year ago
The minimum system requirements for installing Windows Vista are as follows: a 1 GHz 32-bit (x86) or 64-bit (x64) processor, 1 GB of system memory, 40 GB of hard drive capacity with at least 15 GB free space, DirectX 9 graphics card with WDDM 1.0 or higher driver, and a DVD-ROM drive. Additionally, a resolution of 800 x 600 pixels and Internet connectivity are also required for certain features. However, it is important to note that these requirements only apply to the basic installation of Windows Vista. For a more efficient experience, Microsoft recommends a higher performance hardware configuration, including a faster processor, more RAM, and a better graphics card.
