If you’ve come from other versions of Windows say Windows 8.1 and want to perform a fresh install of Windows 10, your PC/desktop needs to meet some hardware requirements first. There are various System requirements for installing Windows 10.
Minimum System Requirements for Installing Windows 10
- Processor:1 gigahertz (GHz) or faster
- Hard drive size: At least 32GB or larger hard disk
- Memory: 1GB (for 32-bit systems) or 2GB (for 64-bit systems)
- Graphics card: DirectX 9 or later with WDDM 1.0 driver
- Display: At least 800×600
- Internet Connectivity: Internet connectivity is necessary to perform updates and to download and take advantage of some features. Windows 10 Pro in S mode, Windows 10 Pro Education in S mode, Windows 10 Education in S mode, and Windows 10 Enterprise in S mode require an internet connection during the initial device setup (Out of Box Experience or OOBE), as well as either a Microsoft account (MSA) or Azure Activity Directory (AAD) account. Switching a device out of Windows 10 in S mode also requires internet connectivity.
These tips can also help you while making your next PC purchase.
N/B: Although these minimum requirements are pretty basic, it is advisable to have at least more than these to efficiently run Windows 10 on your PC. If you’ve run Windows 10 on such a system, the experience is awful.

- Processor: At least 8th gen Processors from AMD or Intel
