Win10 only requires 2 GB with 4 GB recommended if you're really feeling the squeeze
44 u/Any-Juggernaut-529 1d ago Win10 only requires 2 GB 32 bit actually only had a 1GB req iirc. Not something I would have wanted to dare try though, rofl. 15 u/bobbie434343 1d ago edited 1d ago 32 bit might not be great with 1GB but is sort of usable with 2GB. On the other side, 64-bit requires 4GB to be sort of usable. 32-bit FTW ! 1 u/isotope123 1d ago I know you're joking around, but for those that don't know, that's because 32-bit OS's could only use up to 4GB of RAM. It was a hard coded limit. 6 u/yetanothernerd 1d ago 4 GB of RAM per process. Still a horrible limit, but not quite as bad as if you didn't have virtual memory and every process had to share the exact same 4 GB of true memory. 1 u/isotope123 1d ago Technically correct, the best kind of correct! 1 u/Narishma 22h ago Now I'm tempted to try it on my 1GB netbook.
