2016 and the desktop version is called the Windows 10 Pro (Ashraf, 2017). Although, both of
the operating systems were developed concurrently, however, these operating systems have
distinctive differences of features between them. These differences are listed in a tabular form
as below:
Key Points of
Difference

Memory Limits
Physical memory limits for
desktop running Windows Server
2016 has a 24TB limit on X64
A desktop supporting Windows 10
Enterprise has a 4 GB memory limit
on an X86 and a 2TB limit on an
X64
Efficient use of
CPU
A server Operating System is
more efficient in using a CPU
A Windows 10 Enterprise, in
comparison with a server enterprise,
utilises a CPU and hardware
components less efficiently
Network
Connections
A Windows server has no
limitations on using network
connections and only depends on
the hardware capability
A desktop version of Windows has
limited connections to only 10 to 20
networks

Server Editions of Windows OS
are dedicated to provide
allowance to background tasks to

2. System Requirements for installing or upgrading to Windows 10 including the issues
that might be faced by jumping from Windows Vista to Windows 10
System Requirements – The minimum system requirements for installing or
upgrading Windows 10 as suggested by Microsoft are listed as below:
 RAM: The system should require a RAM of 1 GB (gigabyte) for 32-bit and
2GB (gigabyte) for 64-bit
 Processor: A minimum of 1 GHz (gigahertz) processor or SoC is required in a
system to upgrade to Windows 10
 Hard Disk Space (HDD): The hard disk space required for upgrading to
Windows 10 is 16 GB for 32-bit systems and 20 GB for 64-bit system
 Graphics Card: DirectX 9 or a much latest version would be suitable with a
compulsion towards WDDM 1.0 driver
 Display: A minimum resolution of 1024x600 display is required for
supporting Windows 10
Other than all these specification, it is essentially required that the system supports
internet connection and should be utilising one Microsoft account.
Issues while upgrading to Windows 10 – There could be a bit of a trouble in
upgrading from Windows Vista to Windows 10. It is not a free upgrading process; hence, it is
to be made sure that the system satisfies all the requirements that are needed for Windows 10
