Answer 1

the minimum requirements for Windows 10:

Processor:

1 gigahertz (GHz) or faster processor or System on a Chip (SoC)

RAM: 

1 gigabyte (GB) for 32-bit or 2 GB for 64-bit 

Hard drive space:

16 GB for 32-bit OS 32 GB for 64-bit OS Graphics card:

DirectX 9 or later with WDDM 1.0 driver Display:

800x600

Internet Connection:

Internet connectivity is necessary to perform updates and to download and take advantage of some features.

Windows 10 64-bit is recommended if you have 4 GB or more RAM. Windows 10 64-bit supports up to 2 TB of RAM, while Windows 10 32-bit can utilize up to 3.2 GB. The memory address space for 64-bit Windows is much larger, which means you need twice as much memory than 32-bit Windows to accomplish some of the same tasks.
