What are the system requirements for running Windows?

Asked 6 months ago
The system requirements for running Windows vary depending on the specific version you intend to use. For Windows 10, the minimum system requirements are a 1 GHz or faster processor, 1 GB RAM for 32-bit or 2 GB RAM for 64-bit, 16 GB of available hard disk space for 32-bit or 20 GB for 64-bit, a DirectX 9 graphics device with WDDM 1.0 or higher driver, and a display with at least 800x600 resolution. Additionally, for certain features such as Cortana, you may need a microphone and for Windows Hello, a camera is necessary. It's important to note that these requirements may differ for newer versions of Windows or for specific software applications. It's always recommended to check the official Microsoft website or consult specific product documentation for up-to-date and accurate system requirements.
