 What’s New

I have this activity for you.

Task: Look for five hidden system requirements of Windows 10 OS. Write your answers on a
separate sheet of paper.

What is It

Microsoft Windows 10 is the latest operating system introduced by Microsoft to the market
which supports new application software. It contains many features that help users like
geography, accounting, and others. In using the OS to a generic desktop computer, you must
consider the hardware specification requirement before installing it or else the installation will
fail. The OS requirement is written on the cover of the installation disc or seen in the manual.
For a new laptop, they are automatically designed for the said OS. Let us see the system
requirements below.

Microsoft Windows 10
Component Specification
CPU 1 GHz or faster
Memory 1 GB of RAM or higher

3
 Hard drive 16 GB available hard disk drive
Graphics DirectX 9 graphics device with WDDM driver
Network Internet Access

Exceeding the recommended hardware requirements will improve the performance of the
computer. In installing OS, you can use a bootable Windows installation DVD or flash drive.
Technicians always do clean installation of OS which removes all the content of the hard drive.
It is also known as a fresh installation. However, you can upgrade the existing OS by choosing
the Upgrade during the installation process. Now that you know already the hardware
requirements and the type of installation, are you ready to install the Windows operating
system?

Fantastic, let us begin.

Windows 10 Installation

1. Set the boot order of the PC.
