Minimum hardware requirement for run the windows 7

 

Hi Michal dj,

Windows 7 has many editions: starter, home basic, home premium, professional, enterprise, and ultimate.

Windows 7 Starter is the most limited edition. It does not support following features: Windows Aero UI, IIS Web server, BitLocker, Remote desktop host… And it has 32-bit only.

Windows 7 Home basic support Aero partially, and it does not support Windows media center. It has both 32-bit and 64-bit version.

In general, requirements for windows 7 are:

Windows 7 32-bit: 1GHz IA-32 processor, 1GB RAM, 16GB HDD (free space), DirectX 9 graphic processor, DVD-ROM drive (optional)

Windows 7 64-bit: 1GHz x86 or x64 processor, 2GB RAM, 20GB HDD (free space), DirectX 9 graphic processor, DVD-ROM drive (optional)

Hope this helps
