This post is part of Windows 10 tutorial for helping people
find out the correct system specification before installing the upgrade. It shows the minimum and recommended system
requirements for smooth working of windows 10 operating system. I already mention the overall system spec for
getting free windows 10 upgrade in my previous post. Here you can explore more
to find out the best system specs for this OS.
Minimum Windows 10 System Requirements
Operating System
First you must know about the supporting windows operating
systems for pc versions. Windows 10 needs minimum latest version of windows 7
service pack 1 (SP1) or windows 8 or 8.1 OS (32 and 64 bit). If you have Home
premium, basic or starter version of windows 7, after upgrading get Windows 10
Home version. If you are using a professional or ultimate version, you will get
Windows 10 Pro version. Currently there is no ultimate version of Windows 10 is
not released. Some of the excluded OS‘s from the free upgrade are Windows 7
enterprise, Windows RT/ RT 8.1 and Windows 8/8.1 enterprise.
Processor
The minimum CPU is need for working of Windows 10 is Intel
Pentium 4 with 1 GHz cloak speed or AMD Athlon XP 1600+ or higher. The
processor cloak speed must be higher than 1 GHz and having 1 GB RAM for lagless
working of Windows 10 operating system. But better processors are recommended
with higher cloak speed and 2GB RAM or more.
Hard Disk (HDD) Space
The windows update requires 3GB internet data for full
download, but the Windows10 installation should need 20 GB hard disk space (HDD
space) or more. The HDD space is depends on the processor architecture whether
it is 32 bit or 64 bit. The 32 bit processor needs 16 GB HDD space and 20 GB
for 64-bit. This is the minimum HDD space requirement for the latest windows
update.
Display Specifications
You must need a minimum 800x600 pixels resolution screen.
When I use the windows 10 upgrade, my display resolution is changed from
1366x76x pixels (Windows 7 Home premium SP1) to 1024x768 pixels. I was just
stunned what happen to my display. This happened because the old display
drivers are not compatible with Windows 10. The driver is automatically
installed and gets back the 1366x768 pixel resolution back on this new OS.
Graphics Card (GPU)
According to Microsoft, you should need Graphics processing
unit (GPU) direct 9.0 or later with WDDM 1.0 driver. If you have Nvidia Geforce
6500 series or AMD Radeon HD 2100 series GPU, it run on your system without any
hassle in both in terms of performance
and display.

10. The supported languages are Arabic, Bulgarian, Chinese, Croatian, Czech,
Danish, Dutch, English (UK & US), Estonian, Finnish, French, Germen, Greek,
