Windows Server 2025 – System Requirement comparison
A look at the system requirements for Windows Server 2025 and what changed compared to previous versions, including RAM recommendations and Server Core quirks.
Windows Server Windows Server 2025 System Requirements Infrastructure
Windows Server 2025 has just been released. I had a look at the System Requirements. The only difference I could find is that the RAM requirement changed from ‘2 GB for Server with Desktop Experience’ to ‘2 GB for Server with Desktop Experience, 4 GB recommended’.
I read this as if more RAM might be needed in rare cases.
What I found funny is that apparently the installation of Server Core has higher RAM requirements (800 MB) than Windows Server Core itself (512 MB).
