    Running Windows 10 on low spec systems


    Anyone running 10 on a low spec machine?
    ( eg. Core 2 processors, and pre Windows 7 compliant)

    I'm keen to know how the performance keeps up after a few days, weeks etc.

    :)

    The card may not be compatible with your system. Check your specs and the cards specs

    Specifically what voltages are low?

    Who crashed is (as I said) useless

    Does GTA 5 works on Windows 10...??

    Yes GTA 5 will run on Win10, but it does have high system requirements.

    It will run on the HD 620 @ 1024x768 resolution, but is described as not playable in the review below.

    Intel HD Graphics 620

    It does not matter which version of Windows you use. Your system specs would still be too low for smooth game play.

    Pretty much same specs for Windows 10 as Windows 8.1, 1 gigahertz (GHz) or faster processor or SoC, 1 Gigabyte of RAM, 16GB HDD Space.
    Guess will matter what you are using it for.

    Another good thing to add SSD. Although my system is in no means low spec, resource use is about same as Windows 8.1 for me with same processes running. Do not think going to drag down a low spec if Windows 8.1 did not or even Windows 7

    Running Windows 10 on low spec systems

    I'm using a Dell Latitude XT2, came with Vista and Core 2, 1.60GHz. currently has 3GB RAM.

    I got no apps on it whatsoever and only had 10 for like 5 hours.

    So far it's holding up ok but will start to put apps on, this is going to test it.

    I ran Windows 7 64bit before but found 32bit to run better, now I have 10 32bit.

    You should have gone with 32Bit. I find it runs better in 7, so i'm sticking with 10 32bit.
     
  10. I'm running Windows 10 Pro (32-bit) on an HP Envy x2 hybrid:

    Atom z2760 CPU (1.8GHz "CloverTrail" SOC)
    2GB LPDDR2 RAM
    64GB eMCC storage
    Intel GMA Graphics (PowerVR-based)

    So, quite underpowered, but still Windows 10 runs fairly well. Some issues with graphics driver compatibility, but overall it's quite usable.

  11. I don`t think so, because my Maschine run with 8GB RAM. So I must use x64. And I´m very happy with the Performance. Everything is fine and no Problems. My Lenovo is a Hardcore Worker. Run the whole Day with 20 open Windows, Torrent, jDownloader, Viper and so on.... .

    I had the thought in mind that you had more than 4Gb. *Smile
