Windows 8 Minimum System Requirements

To run Windows 8, Microsoft recommends using a computer  that has at least:

• 1 GHz or faster processor
• 1 GB RAM (32-bit) or 2 GB RAM (64-bit)
• 16 GB available hard disk space (32-bit) or 20 GB (64-bit)

• DirectX 9 graphics device with WDDM 10 or higher driver

      This is the minimum required for Windows 8 to run, and there are some few caveats you need to be aware of:

• Windows 8  have a minimum 1024 × 768 screen resolution. If you attempt to run the new Windows 8 apps with less than this resolution (e.g. 1024 × 600, 800 × 600,)you’ll receive an error message.

•  Using the 32-bit version of Windows 8 on a system with 1 GB of RAM will work. For a fast  experience, using at least 2 GB of RAM  is recommended

•    Using Windows 8 on a single-core processor running at 1 GHz is possible but won’t

           be a great experience. Using at least a dual-core processor running at 1 GHz is   recommended.
