Table 11-1 shows the minimum hardware requirements for Windows 10.

Table 11-1 Minimum Hardware Requirements for Windows 10

These are minimum requirements, not optimal requirements. The numbers

are laughably low. In the industry we say, “It might be enough to walk

Windows, but it won’t be enough to run Windows!” (We nerds find this very

funny.) Instead we look for recommended hardware requirements. Operating

systems don’t always publish recommended requirements, so Table 11-2

presents my recommended hardware for a typical Windows 10 thick client.

Table 11-2 Author’s Recommended Hardware for Windows 10

A standard thick client should meet or exceed the recommended hardware

specifications for the operating system and offer typical desktop applications,

such as office productivity and network applications (like a Web browser and

an e-mail client).

Ubuntu Linux does a great job clarifying both minimum and

recommended hardware requirements, as shown in Figure 11-2.
