Just to be clear, the 32GBytes in the article is Microsoft's latest<br>
minimum [disk] *storage* requirements.<br>
<br>
Supposedly: "Minimum RAM requirements remain 1GB for 32-bit Windows 10<br>
and 2GB for the 64-bit version."<br>
<br>
<br>
However, from my personal experience, those minimums are not practical<br>
for any Windows system I've had fix...!<br>
<br>
And really? x2 RAM needed just from going from 32bit to 64bit?!!<br>
