Once this came to an end, Windows 10 not only installed all drivers automatically but it also changed the resolution to 1024圆00 pixels, which is actually the default resolution that the device supports.

Installation was performed via a USB drive and completed in approximately 15 minutes, plus a couple of minutes needed to set up the user account. This means that our Acer Aspire One more or less qualifies for the upgrade to Windows 10, but what’s worth mentioning is that this netbook previously ran Windows XP with a resolution of 800圆00 pixels. The result is surprising to say the least, as installation not only went impressively fast but Windows 10 also works fast as long as you’re not launching a very demanding app such as Photoshop.īasically, Windows 10’s system requirements are the following (note that additional hardware might be needed to use special features, such as Windows Hello):ġ gigahertz (GHz) or faster processor or SoCġ gigabyte (GB) for 32-bit or 2 GB for 64-bit Since Microsoft made so many changes to Windows 10 in order to make it work on the majority of devices out there, we performed a quick test to see how smoothly it can run on a 7-year-old Acer Aspire One powered by Intel Atom N450 processor clocked at 1.66 GHz, 1 GB of RAM, and a 320 GB hard disk.

Windows 10 will launch in less than a week and it is supposed to work flawlessly on devices already powered by Windows 7 and Windows 8.1, as Microsoft struggled to keep system requirements unchanged to make sure that everything runs smoothly.
