Processor performance depends not only on the clock frequency of the processor, but also on the number of processor cores and the size of the processor
. The following are the processor requirements cache
:Minimum
1.4 GHz 64-bit processor
Compatible with x64 instruction set
Supports NX and DEP
Supports CMPXCHG16b, LAHF/SAHF, and PrefetchW
Supports Second Level Address Translation (EPT or NPT)
.You can utilize Coreinfo, which is a tool included in Windows Sysinternals, to verify the capabilities that your CPU possesses
The following are the estimated Random Access Memory (RAM) requirements for this product
:Minimum
512 MB for Server Core
2 GB for Server with Desktop Experience
ECC (Error Correcting Code) type or similar technology for physical host deployments
:Important
Attempting to install Windows Server in a virtual machine configured with the minimum supported hardware parameters (1 processor core and 512 MB RAM) will result in a failed installation.
:To prevent this issue, perform one of the following
Allocate more than 800 MB RAM to the virtual machine on which you intend to install this release. Once the setup has completed, you can change the allocation to as little as 512 MB RAM, depending on the actual server configuration. If you've modified the boot image for the setup with addition languages
.and updates, you may need to allocate more than 800 MB RAM in order to complete the installation
Interrupt the boot process of this release on the virtual machine with the keyboard combination SHIFT+F10. In the command prompt that opens, use diskpart.exe to create and format an installation partition. Run wpeutil createpagefile /path=C:\pf.sys (assuming the installation partition you created was
.Then close the command prompt and proceed with the installation
Computers that run Windows Server must include a storage adapter that is compliant with the PCI Express architecture specification. Servers classified as hard disk drives must not use Parallel Advanced Technology Attachment (PATA) for persistent storage devices. Windows Server also doesn't allow PATA,
Advanced Technology Attachment (ATA), Integrated Drive Electronics (IDE), and Enhanced Integrated Drive Electronic (EIDE) for boot, page, or data drives
.The following are the estimated minimum disk space requirements for the system partition
:Minimum
32 GB of space
Note
Be aware that 32 GB should be considered an absolute minimum value for successful installation. This minimum should allow you to install Windows Server 2022 or later using the Server Core installation option with the Web Services (IIS) server role. A server in Server Core mode is ~4 GB smaller than the same
.server using the Server with Desktop Experience installation option
:The system partition will need extra space for any of the following circumstances
.If you install the system over a network
.Computers with more than 16 GB of RAM will require more disk space for paging, hibernation, and dump files
Network adapters used should include these features.
:Minimum
An Ethernet adapter that can achieve a throughput of at least 1 gigabit per second
Compliant with the PCI Express architecture specification
.A network adapter that supports network debugging (KDNet) is useful, but not a minimum requirement
.A network adapter that supports the Pre-boot Execution Environment (PXE) is useful, but not a minimum requirement
