Quote:Microsoft has announced the minimum system requirements for Windows 11 needed to properly install the operating system and get access to early preview builds.
The new hardware requirements are more demanding than Windows 10 but should still be compatible with most recent computers. The Windows 11 hardware requirements are listed below:
Quote:Processor: 1 gigahertz (GHz) or faster with 2 or more cores on a compatible 64-bit processor or System on a Chip (SoC)The noticeable changes in the new system requirements are that Windows 11 now requires at least two or more CPU cores, 4 gigabytes of RAM, and 64 GB of free storage space, which is a bit higher than Windows 10.
RAM: 4 gigabyte (GB)
Storage: 64 GB or larger storage device. Note: See below under “More information on storage space to keep Windows 11 up-to-date” for more details.
System firmware: UEFI, Secure Boot capable
TPM: Trusted Platform Module (TPM) version 2.0
Graphics card: Compatible with DirectX 12 or later with WDDM 2.0 driver
Display: High definition (720p) display that is greater than 9” diagonally, 8 bits per color channel
Internet connection and Microsoft accounts:
Windows 11 Home edition requires internet connectivity and a Microsoft account to complete device setup on first use. Switching a device out of Windows 11 Home in S mode also requires internet connectivity. Learn more about S mode here. For all Windows 11 editions, internet access is required to perform updates and to download and take advantage of some features. A Microsoft account is required for some features.
However, it is doubtful that Windows 11 will run well on these minimum requirements, and users are suggested to have at least 8 GB of RAM and a 512GB hard drive.
