What is It

Microsoft Windows Server 2008 R2 is a network operating system (NOS) used in providing
services to the local area network or wider network. The services of NOS that the OS can
provide are Web server, DHCP server, DNS server, File server, and others. In using the OS,
you must consider the hardware specification requirement before installing it, or else the
installation will fail. The OS requirement is written on the cover of the installation disc or seen
in the manual. Let us see the system requirements below.

Microsoft Windows Server 2008 R2

Component Minimum Specification Recommended Specification
CPU 1.4 GHz x64 2GHz or faster
Memory 512 MB of RAM or higher 2GB RAM or greater
Hard drive 32 GB available hard disk drive 40GB Full installation
space
Display Super VGA (800 × 600) or higher resolution monitor

Exceeding the minimum and recommended hardware requirements enhance the performance
of the computer. In installing OS, you can use a bootable Windows installation DVD or flash
drive. Technicians always do clean installation of OS which removes all the content of the
hard drive. It is also known as fresh installation. However, you can upgrade the existing OS
by choosing the Upgrade during the installation process. Now that you know already the
hardware requirements and the type of installation. Are you ready to install the Windows
operating system?
