I am looking to upgrade my system to Windows 10 RTM, but I'm afraid of losing performance.

I researched on the site but found details (maybe I have not sought duty) on the hardware minimum.

What are the minimum and recommended requirements for running Windows 10 RTM?

The requirements are identical to Windows 8.1 – Ramhound – 2015-07-28T17:42:26.433

That question doesn't look too similar, but the answer for this one could've just been googled... – MC10 – 2015-07-28T17:47:30.870

@Ramhound I removed the "✓" to try to remove the question, I did not give downvote. Do not worry too sure differentiate things and I will not belittle any answers because of a comment. :) – Guilherme Nascimento – 2015-07-28T18:55:00.487

There are no specific requirements to RTM. The specifications for Windows 10 are listed on the Microsoft site.

  • Processor: 1 gigahertz (GHz) or faster processor or SoC
  • 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
  • Display: 800x600

2There are also some more esoteric requirements of the processor. It has to support CMPXCHG16b, and NX bit as well (most processors do, but some AMD chips do not) – Erik Funkenbusch – 2015-07-28T17:49:08.600
