- RAM: 1 gigabyte (GB) for 32-bit or 2 GB for 64-bit
- Hard disk space: 16 GB for 32-bit OS 20 GB for 64-bit OS
- Graphics card: DirectX 9 or later with WDDM 1.0 driver

It has been reported by many users that during the installation process Windows 10 halts and shows an error code. In the installation, the error can be any from a huge list of known error codes. Note that error code and type it in an Internet search engine like Google or Bing (it's always good to have a secondary device on hand with an Internet connection to search for errors). If you fail to acquire any substantial information regarding an error code, there are some measures that you can take to overcome them anyhow.

Windows 10 upgrade problems
if your upgrade to Windows 10 fails, you can take the following steps to rectify the problem.
- Unplug unnecessary devices: Unplug all the unnecessary peripheral devices (such TV screens, extra monitors, storage hard drives, printers, scanners, etc.) from the computer that is being upgraded. Just keep your mouse and keyboard attached while the upgrade processes.
- Disable Security Software: Disable all your security monitoring software that includes antivirus, antispyware, anti-malware, firewalls, etc. Make sure that all of the security software you do have is compatible to Windows 10.
- Disable unnecessary startup programs: Use the task manager (Right-click the task bar and select “Task Manager” from the context menu) or system configuration manager (Press “Windows button” + Press “R”, type MSConfig to open the system configuration manager). Under the “startup” tab in Task Manager remove the checkmarks with applications to close all the unimportant applications that start up when the Windows boots
- Troubleshoot faulty RAM: In some rare cases, faulty RAM may prevent the Windows upgrade (and we'd be surprised your computer POSTed all this time). If the message “DRIVER_POWER_STATE_FAILURE” appears, then faulty RAM is the culprit. If you do not have RAM testing equipment or resources at hand, you can ascertain which stick of RAM is dead through trial and error: removing the RAM sticks one by one and testing the upgrade process. Of course, you have to be aware that you need to keep 1GB of RAM for 32-bit and 2-GB RAM for 64-bit machines at one time because it is the minimum Windows upgrade requirement.
- Disable secondary storage devices: If you have additional hard disks installed on the system, disable them except the disk being used to upgrade to Windows 10 (and make sure you have ample space available on that disk). If you have RAID (Redundant Array of Inexpensive Disks) or SAN (Storage Area Network), disable and unplug them. Remove any USB hard disk and USB flash disks. These storage devices may confuse the setup program to upgrade Windows 10.
