 RAM: 512 MB
 HDD Space: 5 GB
 Graphics: Supporting 1024x768 resolution
 Either a CD/DVD drive or a USB port for the installer
media.

6. System Requirement: Windows 10
 Processor: 1 gigahertz (GHz) or faster
 RAM: 1 GB (32 bit)
 HDD Space: 16 GB
 Graphics card: Microsoft DirectX 9 graphics device
with WDDM driver
 A Microsoft account and Internet access

9. File System: Linux
 Supports: Ext2, Ext3, Ext4, FAT, FAT32, NTFS
(Requires external package)
 Ext2 (File system size: 2 TB to 32 TB)
 Ext2 can be converted to ext3 directly without data loss.
 Ext2 does not have journaling feature
 Journaling prevents data loss during power failure by keeping
track of changes made
 Ext3 (File system size: same as ext2)
 It allows journaling
 Ext4 (File system size: up to 1 EB (exabyte))
 Has option to turn of journaling feature “off”

10. File System: Windows
 Supports: FAT/FAT32, NTFS, ReFS

32 GB for FAT32
 widely used for flash memory cards and USB flash sticks
 NTFS
 Major file system for Windows
 Supports many file properties such as access control,
encryption etc
 Supports disk partitions over 32GB

11. File System: Windows (contd)
 ReFS
 Stands for Resilient File System
 Latest development of Microsoft available for windows 8
server
