  1. Can I install Win 10 on a 2gb ram pc


    Hello,
    I am getting a new desktop and it has windows 7 on it now. However it only has 2gb of DDR3 ram. I am wondering if putting Windows 10 on it is possible or even suggested? And if it is possible, which version should I try??

    :)

  2. is 2GB RAM enough?


    That old of a PC might not run Windows 10 at all, so you'd better try it first, and worry about ram later.*

    * I too have an old PC here, that accepted Windows 7, x86, but all later OS's refuse to install.

    But on my test PC's, the most ram I have on any of them is 2GB. So YES, Windows 10 will run with just 2GB of RAM.

    Happy Testing!

    *Cool

    32bit vs 64bit with 2GB of ram

    Also, 64bit Windows runs very slow on 2GB of RAM, we suggest 4GB or better to install 64bit Windows.

    is 2GB RAM enough?


    I was going to install Windows 10 on an old Pentium Dual Core PC with 2GB RAM, currently running Windows 7. Is it best to upgrade the RAM to 4GB first?
