What Do I Req For Windows10

[Togo]

After hypo's question yesterday I have found a minimum req spec for windows10. If you are running a 32bit device you will req.
16GHZ Processor or faster
1GB of RAM
16GB hard drive space
For a 64bit device you will need 2GB of RAM
You will need a DirectX 9 or later graphics card with a WDDM 1.0 driver and a 800 x 600 display or better. If you have windows 8 running you will need to download windows 8.1 first.

Thats looks like an absolute minimum spec

Would suggest you at least double those figures to get a decent and adequate usage.

"16GHZ Processor or faster "
I think maybe you mean 1.6GHz

After hypo's question yesterday I have found a minimum req spec for windows10.It does give you a no cost start though. You can upgrade whatever is best for your system later as required.

[Togo]

Correct TheChair it should read 1ghz Processor.

"What do I require...?"

The patience of a saint is what! After 19 "Update Failed" messages in a row, I found, downloaded & ran the Windows Update Troubleshooter which fixed whatever was apparently wrong then located a Command Line instruction that has now forced the download to begin.

I live in the village of the damned as far as BT's cabinet upgrades go & I've worked out that if the update status bar is accurately showing the time per %, the download will take 2.83 hours.

Heigh-ho...

Strewth Lie in that is a killer. How the hell do you manage to be so quick with your crossword answers? You must have the reactions of a praying mantis. Lucky up here. We live within 1 mile of main police hq, ambulance, and fire brigade hq. So great phone lines as per home office requirement. We pull about 9.6mb upload and 10.4 upload speeds.

[Togo]

10.4 download.

If you get a chance Lie in King you may be kind enough to post the links you used. RATTER15 has been trying to do what you have managed. But we were having the devils own job getting the right links.

I've put a message to check "Windows Updates" for any failure indicators on the other thread, but with respect to everyone, I'll hold off giving the work around I used until I know it was successful.

I'm a tad impatient so just went for it but I'd hate to discover something wrong later on having given the same instructions to others. If it works & they're still needed later on, I'll be happy to oblige.

Hope that makes sense :-)

i've never managed to install update KB2952664 because of an error message so have hidden it. Will win 10 install without this update?

[Lie-in King]

ael - that shows as -

"This update helps Microsoft make improvements to the current operating system in order to ease the upgrade experience to the latest version of Windows."

I must state I'm NOT an expert, but would guess it could cause a problem.

Have you tried "unhiding" it & trying again? If you do & it fails, can you note the "Failure Code", it might help us take it further.

[TheChair]

I downloaded and installed it this morning with no problems whatsoever.
It's all running fine.

[aelmpvw]

lik, i've been trying to download update KB2952664 for months without success. Keep getting error code 80073701 which i've investigated without success. Think i'll stay with win 7 :-)

[Lie-in King]

I'm sorry I'm not much use, ael - all I can do for that is point you here -

https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/2700530

It doesn't mean much to me & I'd suggest careful reading & a certain degree of caution if you're not overly confident :-)

[aelmpvw]

thanks for the link lik but i've studied that page and many others without success. I hate letting a problem beat me but in this case i am going to give up :-(

[Togo]

Error code 80073701 on update KB2952664 64bit windows 7 ...

You could try this link ael. Don't give up.

[aelmpvw]

thanks for the suggestion Togo but i think i've looked at every link possible to try to solve this problem :-(
