Recently Some details have been leaked about the requirements to be able to install the next Microsoft operating system, Windows 12. According to sources close to the company, it has been confirmed that the computers must have support for TPM 2.0 and have at least 8GB of RAM.
This represents a significant increase in the minimum hardware requirements compared to the current Windows 11 specifications, in which Microsoft requires a minimum of 4GB of RAM. It’s important to note that this information has yet to be officially confirmed by Microsoft, but rumors suggest that the company is looking to improve the security and performance of its operating system.
The inclusion of TPM 2.0 is a security measure used to protect data stored on the computer through encryption. However, its inclusion caused some discontent on the part of a sector of users who saw that despite having the rest of the requirements that Microsoft demanded, since they did not have this element, they could not install Windows 11.
This leak represents very bad news for many users since these new specifications could present a challenge, especially for those who are not using state-of-the-art hardware. However, it is important to keep in mind that technology advances rapidly and the minimum hardware requirements for operating systems must also keep pace with these changes.
More and more powerful teams
Some analysts have expressed the opinion that this could just be the beginning of a trend towards an increase in the amount of RAM required for good performance in the near future.
According to these analysts, The increasing demand for more advanced software and applications, as well as the development of new technologies, could lead to the new minimum hardware requirements for operating systems being increased. even more in the future. Some even suggest that 16GB of RAM could become the new standard for everyday computers in the coming years.
It is important to note that this is not an official prediction from Microsoft, but an opinion from some tech experts. However, it is true that the amount of RAM needed for good performance in a computer has gradually increased in recent years due to the evolution of technology. In addition, it is also important to note that other factors, such as SSD storage capacity, can also affect the performance of the computer.
