From Windows 12 Is Going To Make Some Significant Changes for New PCs:

QuoteRecent reports have shed light on Microsoft's ambitious plans for Windows 12, revealing a strategic move to increase the minimum specifications required to run the operating system. According to a detailed analysis by Trendforce, a notable shift is on the horizon with the base memory requirement set to soar to 16GB.

This adjustment is not merely a numbers game; it aligns with Microsoft's vision for integrating its AI assistant Copilot into the user experience, ensuring it operates with minimum efficiency.

This decision underscores a broader trend towards more powerful, AI-driven PCs. Historically, Microsoft's operating systems have maintained relatively low minimum requirements, with Windows 11 and Windows 10 requiring 4GB and 1-2GB of memory, respectively.

The leap to 16GB represents a significant escalation, reflecting the growing demands of advanced computing tasks and AI applications.
