Minimum requirements for installing Windows 10

The above indicates that with a 32-bit processor we only need 1GB of RAM, and double that for 64-bit. But this configuration is very limited and anyone who uses it will notice that this amount of memory is far from ideal. If you double the minimum required you will experience immediate performance improvements. However, the recommendation would be to have 4Gb of RAM installed in either 32 or 64 bits.

In terms of hard disk space, the minimum to install the system is 16 Gb (32 bits) and 20 Gb (64 bits). However to work comfortably requires much more since only the installation of windows consumes 10 Gb of hard disk, in addition to this is required to install applications, updates, drivers, plus disk space is used for temporary files, swap memory and hibernate functions.

In summary once installed the system, applications, and our work files we must ensure that the available space never falls below 20 Gb as we could start to notice a desperate slowdown in performance. Both in RAM and disk space, more than the minimum amount required is never too much.
