To see what kind of operating system a computer is suitable for, we mainly look at two indicators: CPU and memory.
Regarding the selection of the system, I have made the following detailed explanation, please refer to:
Windows systems are usually installed in the following ways:
1. Windows XP, 2. Windows Vista-32 bit, 3. Windows Vista-64 bit, 4. Windows 7-32 bit, 5. Windows 7-64 bit, 6. Windows 8-32 bit, 7. Windows 8-64 bit, 8. Windows 8. 1-32 bit, 9. Windows 8. 1-64 bit, 10. Win 10-32, 1 1. Win 10-64.
As for which system is better and more suitable for your computer, it should be judged according to the specific configuration of your computer (mainly: CPU and memory). Let me analyze the advantages and disadvantages of each system one by one:
Windows XP: This used to be the best, most popular and most acclaimed system in the history of Microsoft. Although XP system has very low requirements for computer configuration, almost all computers now support installing this system, but it is too old. By April and May of 20 14, Microsoft officially stopped providing technical support and bug patch updates for XP system, and XP was basically eliminated. Moreover, XP does not support 4GB memory, AHCI hard disk mode, Direct 10 or Direct 1 1, and there are many things that are not supported here, so it is definitely not recommended to choose again. (But for computers with very low configuration and very old computers, installing XP is still a very practical choice, because after all, XP system occupies extremely low memory, which can ensure the smooth operation of these old computers with low configuration. )
{If the computer memory is less than 1GB, XP system is recommended! }
Windows Vista-32-bit and Windows Vista-64-bit: It is said that Microsoft is the worst operating system in the world, and the requirements for computer configuration are: CPU Pentium 4 or more, and memory 1GB or more. Vista's only advantage is that it is more secure than Windows-XP, but it pays the price of slow response and poor compatibility. Moreover, if the UAC function is not turned off, dialog boxes will pop up frequently when executing many programs, which is very annoying, but turning off the UAC function reduces the security. Win7 and Win8 have done better in this respect, and it is strongly recommended not to install Windows Vista-32-bit and Windows Vista.
{This system can be ignored, and it is strongly not recommended to install it unless you have a special purpose! }
Windows7-32-bit: Requirements of Win7-32-bit system for computer configuration: CPU with single core and Pentium 4 or above can be used, but it is better to have a CPU with more than two cores (as long as dual cores are met) and at least 2GB of memory. Although the system supports AHCI hard disk mode and Direct 10 or Direct 1 1, the system only supports 3.25GB of memory at most. Obviously, installing this system can't give full play to the best effect of computers with more than 4GB memory.
{If the CPU of the computer is Pentium 4 or above and the memory is between 1GB and 3GB, it is recommended to choose Windows7-32 bit. }
Windows7-64-bit: Requirements for computer configuration of Win7-64-bit system: CPU with more than two cores (as long as dual cores are satisfied) and at least 4GB of memory are required. This system is the best and most mainstream system in Windows system at present, with good game compatibility. There are compatibility options in the "Attribute" column, which can set up many low-level systems in backward compatibility, support the running of virtual DOS programs, and virtually run games in the DOS era, greatly improving the compatibility of this system. Perfect support for 4GB and above memory, and maximum support for 128GB memory; Support AHCI hard disk mode; Support Direct 10, and support the latest direct11at most; +0; Moreover, at present, most mainstream software and hardware manufacturers support the system, mainly developing corresponding software for the system. Win7 is even called the next WinXP legend.
{If your computer configuration meets the requirements of more than dual-core CPU (as long as it meets dual-core) and at least more than 4GB of memory, because Win7 has good organic compatibility, it is best to choose Win7-64 bits for older computer hardware! }
Windows 8-32-bit and Windows 8-64-bit, Win8 is a system designed by Microsoft for tablet computers and touch screen devices: its requirements for computer configuration are basically the same as Win7-32-bit and 64-bit, even slightly lower than Win7 system. However, the reputation of this system was not high when it was first listed, and some people even predicted that it would be the next Vista. As a new system, it is not supported by most software and hardware manufacturers. The whole system is still in the stage of perfection and immature. Personally, I think it's not easy to use.
{It is recommended to suspend the installation and use of Win8 system. If you have to install it, it is better to install Win-8. 1 system directly! }
Windows 8. 1-32-bit, Windows 8. 1-64-bit and Windows 8. 1 are the update packages that Microsoft began to develop after Windows 8 was launched on 20 12 and 10. They are improved versions of Win8, and the requirements for computer configuration are the same as those of Win 8. In the code-named "Blue" project, Microsoft will standardize the upgrade of the operating system in order to provide users with more regular upgrades. Windows 8. 1 plays a connecting role, paving the way for the future Windows 10. I have used Win8. 1-64 bit, and I feel that the performance is acceptable, much better than Win8, but the software compatibility is still poor.
{The {CPU has more than two cores, and the memory is more than 4GB. You can choose Windows 8. 1 system. }
In the official version of Win 10 (including 32-bit and 64-bit) system, the "Start" menu returns again, and the "Traditional" menu is perfectly combined with the "Jiugongge" layout, making it more convenient to find and start applications.
Powerful Cortana (voice search Assistant) search support:
Another feature of the official version of Win 10 is Cortana, which is based on Bing search engine and has triple functions of "web search", "local search" and "voice recognition search", which can meet the convenience of users in finding information.
Multi-task view mode:
Win 10 official version provides "multi-virtual window task view" mode, which can realize the function of running different tasks on multiple virtual desktops. With this function, multi-task parallel processing can be realized, and the distribution and layout of applications can also be sorted out. It is very convenient to use.
High-performance Microsoft Edga browser launched strongly;
Compared with the previous IE browser, Microsoft Edga browser has unparalleled advantages. Compared with IE, the performance has been greatly improved, and the problems of IE crash and slow response have been completely eliminated. In the process of use, I feel that the speed of accessing the web page is relatively fast. After several days of use, no crash or jam was found.
Program compatibility has been greatly improved:
After upgrading to the official version of Win 10 system in a brand-new way, the official version of Win 10 system can be used normally without installing any hardware drivers. So Win 10 operating system is compatible with most manufacturers' computers. If you choose to upgrade the official version of Windows 10 system, you will no longer have to worry about the incompatibility of hardware drivers.
{If your computer configuration meets the requirements of more than dual-core CPU (as long as dual-core CPU is satisfied) and at least 2GB of memory, installing Win 10-32 bit is the best choice; If the memory is more than 4GB, installing Win 10-64 bit is the best choice! }
