  • RAM: 1 gigabyte (GB) for 32-bit or 2 GB for 64-bit
  • HDD (SSD): 32GB of storage
  • Graphics card: Compatible with DirectX 9 or later with WDDM 1.0 driver
  • Display: 800×600

Before you start just make sure that the USB flash drive has at least 8GB of free space. You will have the option to create either a 64-bit or 32-bit version of Windows 10.
