Windows 10 System Requirements are same as Windows 7

  • CPU: 1GHz or faster
  • RAM: 1GB for 32-bit Windows or 2GB for 64-bit Windows
  • Hard Disk: 32GB or larger
  • Graphics Card: DirectX 9-compatible or newer with a WDDM 1.0 driver

If you compare the specs of Windows 10 with a decade-old Windows 7, there is only difference of size of Hard Disk. Windows 7 could work with 16GB space whereas Windows 10 requires minimum of 32GB.

Well, these are minimum requirements. You might be able to get Windows 10 installed but cannot use it optimally on an underpowered machine.

Is Windows 10 Faster?

You should get similar kind of performance on Windows 10 as you used to get on the same machine running Windows 7. If it was slow, it will be slow and if it was good, it should give similar performance.

In some cases, Windows 10 might be faster because of underlying optimisation engineered over the years. Core operating system does require more storage space but it is designed to boot faster and run faster than previous versions.
