HARDWARE REQUIREMENTS :
The minimum system requirements for Windows 8 are slightly higher than those of Windows7.Notably, Windows 8 now requires that a system’s CPU support.certain hardware features, specifically the physical address extension (PAE), NXE bit and SSE2 Windows Store apps require a screen resolution of 1024×768 or higher to run, while a screen resolution of 1366×768 or higher is required in order to use the snapping functionality for apps.
