[QUOTE="Analoguesat, post: 1099788, member: 176362"] The official MS minimum specs is 1GB ram for a 32 bit install. [URL unfurl="true"]https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/windows-10-system-requirements-6d4e9a79-66bf-7950-467c-795cf0386715[/URL] Ive always had my doubts at MS's minimum specs. many years ago I put win95 onto a desktop with the minimum spec 4mb ram (yup [B]mb[/B] not [B]gb[/B] for you youngsters!). It would load. Just about. Forget doing ANYTHING with it though..... The performance was appalling :D Theoretically that crappy old amsung netbook is within the minimum specs. Ive got a very similar Dell one with a marginally faster processor and an ssd happily running win7 home on it. Its travelled all round Europe with me over the years. The original hdd died and I put the ssd into it upgrading it from win7 starter to win7 home at the same time. Those of you taking my aircraft data - the Dell is the one the tracking software runs on.
