What are the Minimum System Requirements for Windows 7 Beta ?

r-onlineinformation.blogspot.com

Hardware:

These are the Microsoft minimum hardware recommendations for systems that will be running the Windows 7 Beta. These recommendations are specific to the beta release and are subject to change:

  • Processor: 1 GHz 32-bit or 64-bit processor
  • Memory: 1 GB of system memory
  • Hard drive: 16 GB of available disk space
  • Video card: Support for DirectX 9 graphics with 128MB memory (in order to enable Aero theme)
  • Drive: DVD-R/W drive
  • Internet connection (to download the beta and get updates)

Software:

  • To do and upgrade, Vista SP1 is required. This will overwrite your current Vista installation; which is not a good idea, since this is beta software.
  • To do a clean install, there are no pre-existing software requirements.

Notes:

  • Some product features of Windows 7, such as the ability to watch and record live TV or navigation through the use of “touch”, may require advanced or additional hardware.
  • The graphics requirements are mostly for Aero, but also affect some other graphics features; for example, in Media Center.
  • To learn more, see Windows 7 Beta: Frequently Asked Questions.
