What are the system requirements?

What are the hardware requirements?

Windows 10 Technical Preview for Enterprise will work with most of the same devices and programs as Windows 8.1. In some cases, a device or program will require an update, or you may need to uninstall some programs and then reinstall them after installing the preview. Here are some things to consider:
  • For 64-bit installations, a small number of older PCs may be blocked from installation because they don't support CMPXCHG16b, PrefetchW, and LAHF/SAHF.
  • To use touch, you need a tablet or monitor that supports multitouch.
  • Technical Preview is not supported on devices running Windows RT or Windows Phone.

When does the preview expire?

April 15, 2015. If you’re running Windows 10 Technical Preview for Enterprise, we’ll start to send you notifications on April 1, 2015 to remind you that it’s time to upgrade your computer to a newer version.
