Windows 7 System Requirements Less Hungry Than Vista Was

By Adam Pash on January 9, 2009 at 1:38 AM

If you’re excited that Windows 7 Beta will be available as a free download soon, Microsoft also detailed the minimum system requirements for Windows 7. According to PC World, the requirements are:

  • 1GHz processor (32- or 64-bit)
  • 1GB of main memory
  • 16GB of available disk space
  • Support for DX9 graphics with 128MB of memory (for the Aero interface)
  • A DVD-R/W drive

Those requirements are basically identical to the system requirements for Vista, which—considering the nearly three-year span between Vista and Windows 7—should make Windows 7 a much more viable upgrade to those of use who don’t want to buy a new PC just to upgrade their OS.
