Well prepared for installation

Before a clean installation, back up your documents, pictures, emails and browser bookmarks to an external drive or the cloud. Note down the login details and licence keys of your programs. If possible, download your PC’s network drivers in advance – so you are back online immediately after installation. Depending on the computer, a clean installation takes about 20 to 60 minutes.

32 or 64 bit?

On computers with more than 4 GB of memory you should install the 64-bit version so that all the memory is used. The 32-bit version only makes sense for very old computers or special older programs. You select the right variant when creating the installation medium.

After installation

• Install drivers for graphics, chipset, network and printer from the manufacturer’s website
• Set up virus protection – Microsoft Defender is already active
• Create user accounts and use an account without administrator rights for everyday use
• Set up a regular backup

System requirements

• Processor: 1 GHz or faster
• Memory: 1 GB (32-bit) or 2 GB RAM (64-bit)
• Storage: 32 GB of free space
• Graphics: DirectX 9 or later with WDDM 1.0 driver
• Display: resolution of 800 × 600 or higher
• Internet: for setup and activation

Installation and activation
