Microsoft makes the use of RAM more expensive in Windows 10 Mobile and now requires at least 1 GB

This news that we are dealing with does not only affect Microsoft, but we have already seen it on other occasions touching the fiber of users of other operating systems. We are talking about the change in the minimum requirements set for the operation of a device with a specific operating system and on this occasion we must refer to Microsoft.

And the fact is that the American company has just announced that it modifies the minimum requirements that mobile terminals need to to be able to run the latest version of its operating system, Windows 10 Mobile .

"

From now on and according to Microsoft all those terminals that have less than 1 Gb of RAM are not officially compatible with Windows 10 Mobile , something that was expected although, however, it had not been officially confirmed. In this way, users who have a mobile that has, for example, 512 MB of RAM and 4 GB of internal memory will see how their terminal becomes an ugly duckling for Microsoft."

Microsoft had already made an _update_ in the requirements regarding internal memory capacity in its terminals to use Windows 10, going from allow the use of 4 GB to require 8 GB and now it is the turn of the RAM memory.

Therefore and before the arrival of Windows 10 Anniversary we will see how will not appear in the same models that have 512 MB of RAM and 4 GB of storageLet's remember in passing that Microsoft has already canceled the update to Windows 10 Mobile on devices with less than 1 GB of RAM and 8 GB of internal storage.

In addition to this information, Microsoft has added new Qualcomm processors to the list of those compatible with your system and among we find the future Qualcomm Snapdragon 830 (it has not even been announced yet), the Snapdragon 820 or the Snapdragon 625.

And when it comes to opinion time… _what do you think of this way of proceeding by Microsoft (and other companies)?_ Logic on the one hand, because they are interested sell terminals and the requirements will be higher every time for the best _hardware_ that is assembled but _shouldn't the software be better optimized over time?_
