A worked example
Shown solved, with the whole explanation open: this is what every question here carries.
A technician is installing new memory modules in a laptop so it can run Windows 11. What is the minimum amount of RAM the operating system requires?
The concept
Minimum hardware requirements for an OS determine which RAM module capacity a technician must install during a memory upgrade.
Why this answer
4 GB is the published minimum memory requirement, so any RAM replacement must meet or exceed this amount.
- A2 GB falls below the published minimum and would prevent installation.
- 4 GB is the correct minimum memory requirement.
- C8 GB exceeds the stated minimum, though it would also work, it is not the minimum.
- D16 GB exceeds the stated minimum by a wide margin and is not the required floor.
