[dba-Tech] Windows 10 and XP

[Gustav Brock]

Hi John

I always do a clean install from DVD or – for newer machines – a USB-stick for our own machines as I use the Windows 10 ISOs from MAPS.

On friends’ and family machines I have to use the download to obtain the license.

Hi Gustav,
Did you install that from CD or via the Windows update download update?

I tried upgrading a Dell OptiPlex GX620 with Pentium 4 and 2GB earlier this
week and the Windows 10 logo was on the main screen for about 12 hours. It
never displayed anything else.

Hi Tina

Indeed. My ten+ year old HP Pavilion zd8237 runs nicely with its Pentium 4
CPU. 2 GB was a lot those days.

If you also spend some money on a SSD drive, you will feel like having a new
machine.

Hi All,

What are the system requirements for Windows 10?  Would a Win XP box with 2
Gig RAM and 100 Gig hard drive be sufficient?
