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
32 GB available hard disk drive
Hard drive 40GB Full installation
space
Display Super VGA (800 × 600) or higher resolution monitor
Others Keyboard and Microsoft Mouse or compatible pointing device

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
