    Facebook requires 2GB RAM to work properly in Windows 10 Mobile

    There are other Win 10 phones and eligible phones that have more than 1GB memory.

    Lumia 1520 2GB

    Lumia 930 2GB

    Acer Liquid Jade Primo 3GB

    HP Elite x3 4GB

    Alcatel Idol 4S 4GB

    The app says it requires 2GB memory

  3. intel HD 4000 & AMD Radeon HD7600M 2GB can not run Game

    Intel HD4000 shows 32MB video memory, i have AMD RADEON HD7600 2GB but can not run a "Age of Empire III", it says your graphics memory is 32 MB and game requires atleast 64MB. why it can not be run on the graphics card which is 2GB?

    10049 now requires 2gb memory

    Which version of Win10? The 64-bit version requires a minimum of 2GB and the 32-bit version only 1GB. However, what I read is that the VM memory requirement is in addition to what the boot OS requires. Add to that what may already be running in the boot OS and it could be easy to run low on memory. [I avoid the problems with VMs by installing test versions of an OS on computers I've resurrected, usually get them free when folks upgrade, have Win10 on a Dell Desktop originally with Vista from about 2008 and a 4-5 year old Toshiba Notebook originally with Win7.]

    You may find the upgrade path has more stringent requirements than doing a clean install. I bet you did a clean install of 9926.

    Possibly did. Is it possible to reduce the memory size back to 1gb as my host machine is crawling with 2gb as I only have 4gb installed.

    Well I reduced the memory to 1gb and it boots and seems to run ok in the VM.

    My 10049 x64 runs fine in 1GB. I usually give it 4GB, but 1GB seems to be fine. Here is what the resource Monitor shows:

    And this is the same with 4GB

    I don't know. I got 10049 thru an upgrade from 10041. But the upgrade itself I did with 4GBs.

    Just wondering where these screenshots came from; e.g. what VM manager? Do you like it vs. VirtualBox?

    My screenshots are from VMware Player. I used vBox for many years, but I always had problems. VMware works better for me.
