Windows 10 Minimum System Requirements

Windows 10 Minimum System Requirements seems to be the same as of the minimum requirements which was given for the Windows 8.1. Since from the launch of the Windows 10 Technical preview the Windows 10 Minimum System Requirements was not yet properly updated by the Microsoft. Actually we need to wait for the Windows 10 Consumer preview to know the exact details about the minimum and the recommended system requirements for the Windows 10.

Windows 10 Minimum System Requirements for the Technical preview :

Processor: 1 gigahertz (GHz) or faster.

RAM: 1 gigabyte (GB) (32-bit) or 2 GB (64-bit)

Free hard disk space: 16 GB.

Graphics card: Microsoft DirectX 9 graphics device with WDDM driver.

A Microsoft account and Internet access.

Since Microsoft is updating the Windows 10 with more and more patches on the upcoming releases, we cant be specific about the minimum requirements for the Windows 10 Operating System. The above given specifications may vary in the future because Microsoft is trying to make the Windows 10 operating system to be used in almost all the devices. So Windows 10 Minimum System Requirements may get varied during the release of the Windows 10.

if you see the Windows 8 minimum requirements which was given as follows

Processor: 1 gigahertz (GHz) or faster with support for PAE, NX, and SSE2 (more info)

RAM: 1 gigabyte (GB) (32-bit) or 2 GB (64-bit)

Hard disk space: 16 GB (32-bit) or 20 GB (64-bit)

Graphics card: Microsoft DirectX 9 graphics device with WDDM driver.

Convert Windows Server 2012 R2 Core to GUI

Converting Windows Server 2012 R2 Core to GUI became very simply in this release. After installing the windows server core edition whether it may be a standard edition or the datacenter edition you cant able to access the windows gui interface. But if you do some tweaks which was provided by the Microsoft itself we can convert the core edition of the windows server 2012 r2 to gui interface with some simple powershell commands. Actually we can call it as one of the options which was provided by the microsoft rather than calling it as a tweak. To convert the windows server 2012 r2 core edition to the gui we need the windows installation dvd to perform this task.

This tutorial includes some basic powershell commands to convert windows server 2012 r2 to GUI mode.

As the first step if you have windows server 2012 r2 core edition installed in your computer then you can easily convert windows server 2012 r2 to GUI using the below series of powershell commands. But before running these powershell commands you must have a valid windows server 2012 r2 dvd to access the winsxs directory.

To mount the windows server 2012 r2 dvd image to your existing operating system, you need to execute the below mentioned powershell commands.

Mount-WindowsImage -ImagePath D:\sources\install.wim -Path C:\Mount-Image –Index:2 -readonly

Here D: is the dvd drive where you have your windows server 2012 r2 image file and after running this command you will see the Mount-Image folder in your C drive. After that you need to install another powershell command to  convert windows server 2012 r2 to GUI mode.

Install-WindowsFeature Server-Gui-Mgmt-Infra,Server-Gui-Shell –Restart –Source c:\Mount-Point\Windows\winsxs

This is how you will convert  Windows Server 2012 R2 core to GUI, and if you have installed the gui version of the windows server 2012 r2 then if you need to convert it to the core then you must uninstall 2 windows features using the powershell command as given below.

Uninstall-WindowsFeature Server-Gui-Mgmt-Infra,Server-Gui-Shell –Restart

After using this powershell command the server will restart and it will ask for your login credentials in the GUI mode but after giving your credentials there you can see only a command prompt without any GUI tools.

Note: You can switch over to the powershell console by just simply typing the below command\

powershell

Internal, External and Private Network in Hyper-V

Internal, External and Private Network in Hyper-V are the three different kinds of network which we are using to interconnect the different VM’s with internal as well as the external network. Internal, External and Private Network in Hyper-V are the most important network configurations which we need to be clear. If you are going to plan a enterprise network for with Windows Server 2012 R2 and Hyper-V Server, you need to know the three differences between these Hyper-V Network configurations. According to the needs

you need to install the Physical Network Cards,

you need to configure the physical network adapters,

you need to create the virtual switch,

you need to create the virtual network adapters,

you may also need to configure the physical switch and the routers.

below are the detailed explanation about the Internal, External and Private Network in Hyper-V–

Virtual Switch : External Network

The virtual switch is bound to the networking protocol stack in the host OS and connected to a physical network interface adapter in the Hyper-V server. VMs running on the server’s parent and child partitions can all access the physical network to which the physical adapter is connected.

Virtual Switch : Internal Network

An internal network switch is bound to a separate instance of the networking protocol stack in the host OS, independent from the physical network interface adapter and its connected network. VMs running on the server’s parent and child partitions can all access the virtual network implemented by the virtual switch, and the host OS on the parent partition can access the physical network through the physical network interface adapter, but the VMs on the child partitions cannot access the physical network through the physical adapter.

Virtual Switch : Private Network

A private network switch exists only in the Hyper-V server and is accessible only to the VMs running on the child partitions. The host OS on the parent partition can access the physical network through the physical network interface adapter, but it cannot access the virtual network created by the virtual switch.

These virtual switches needs to be created while you are configuring the virtual network in the Hyper-V.

How to install Windows features from Powershell

Powershell is one of the most widely used windows utility nowadays, so using the powershell we can see how to install the windows features in a server. Windows server 2008 and server 2012 contains tons of roles and features for installation but to install roles and features in the windows server, we need to seperately select the servers from the server pools and then only we can install the roles and features. This facility was only available in the Windows server 2012 and higher versions. To install the multiple roles and features in multiple servers i.e. both in server 2008 and in server 2012, we need to depend on the Powershell. So in this post we can see how to install roles and features in the windows server.

For Windows Server 2008 R2 and Windows Storage Server 2008 R2 you need to use the following command

Add-WindowsFeature

So add-windowsfeature powershell command was used in the server 2008 and we cannot use this command in the Windows server 2012 or higher version.

To install a windows feature such as Telnet Server and Telnet Client, we need to run the command as follows

Add-WindowsFeature Telnet-Server,Telnet-Client

what we are seeing is the installation procedure for the windows server 2008 and now we can see how to install the windows roles and features in the server 2012. The powershell command which was used for installing the features in the server 2012 was as follows..

Install-WindowsFeature

Install-Windowsfeature powershell command can be used both in the Windows Server 2012 and also in the Windows 8.1 operating system. Using this command we can install the roles and features in multiple servers. Using this command we can easily install multiple roles and features by using the wilecard characters. Lets see some of the examples by which we are using this powershell command to install the windows server roles and features .

This powershell command was used to install the web server by importing all the necessary modules from the share folder (this folder was available in the server installation dvd)

Install-WindowsFeature -Name Web-Server -Source \\server2\winsxs

 This command was used for installing the features which was alredy exported into a xml file.

How to install Windows updates manually using Powershell

Powershell was most widely used scripting language in all windows operating system which was supported by it,  so here i am going to show you how to  install windows updates manually in the windows operating system with the help of the powershell. To make it to work you need to have powershell installed in your operating system so you must use the windows operating sytem which supports powershell for eg. Windows 7, Windows 8, Windows 8.1, Windows Server 20088 and above versions of the server operating system.

Since we are going to use the basic pwershell commands here you need atleast Powershell v1.0 in your operating windows machine. The next thing you need to do is you need to download the windows updates which you are going to install manually. Since using this script you can any number of windows updates you dont need to worry about the number of updates which you are going to install.  lets go to the script

$hotfixes = get-childitem -include *.msu -recurse foreach ($hotfix in $hotfixes) start-process c:\windows\system32\wusa.exe -argumentlist $hotfix,"/quiet","/norestart" -wait

Save the above script as “install-updates.ps1″ in the location where you have the manually downloaded windows updae files. Its better to keep the windows updates seperately in a folder where you are going to start the installation. After downloading the updates and having the script ready to execute it, you need to do the folowing procesure to start the installation.

Goto -> Start -> search for powershell -> right click on powershell and select “Run as administrator” and click to open the powershell with the administrator privileages.

After opening the powershell with administrator privileages you need to move to the location where you have svaed the script file “install-updates.ps1″.

Now you need to allow your powershell session to execute the script files, for that you need to execute the below command.

Set-ExecutionPolicy RemoteSigned

After executing the above command you will be asked for a confirmation, there you need to give “yes”, and then now your powershell was ready to execute the scripts.

Now type the below command

.\install-updates.ps1

Review : Stellar Phoenix Windows Data Recovery

Stellar Phoenix Windows Data Recovery is one of the data recovery software which was widely used for the recovering the lost data from your hard drive, sd card, USB drive etc. Some of the functions which was given in the Stellar Phoenix Windows Data Recovery software was quite simple when compared to all other data recovery software which was available in the market.

Since there are so many free data recovery software’s available in the internet for free then why we must go to Stellar Phoenix Windows Data Recovery, its because there are more unique features which was available in the Stellar Phoenix Windows Data Recovery software other than the free data recovery software’s which was available in the internet.

Drive Recovery :

I have tested the Drive recovery feature with the help of the Stellar Phoenix Windows Data Recovery Professional edition and found that to be working good and i have got the deleted drive successfully, but the problem here is even though i recovered the drive partition successfully i couldn’t able to get 95% of data and some of the data are still missing and couldn’t able to retrieve.

CD/DVD Recovery :

CD/DVD recovery works fine and make sure you have the CD/DVD in good condition, since this recovery option depends on the quality of the CD/DVD and it contents i couldn’t able to come to a conclusion.

Photo Recovery :

Photo Recovery stills works fine in Stellar Phoenix Windows Data Recovery Professional edition and i can able to get almost 90% of the lost photos from the USB Drive and also in SD Card as well except some dumps.

Review : UnoTelly - Unlock the online media content in your location

UnoTelly is a VPN and/or DNS service which was very useful for those who wish to see the online streaming channels. If you are travelling around the world and if you don’t want to miss any of the channels like the US version of the Netflix or the Canada version of the Spotify then you need to go for the service like UnoTelly that will let you to watch most of the channels around the world.

UnoTelly removes the geolocation problem for most of the streaming services and also for most of the devices which was widely available around the world. UnoTelly provides these facilities with the help of the DNS (Domain Name Services) and it it also has VPN (Virtual Private Network) Services. UnoTelly was supported in some of these following mostly used devices.

Windows XP

Windows Vista

Windows 7

Windows 8

Mac OSX

Linux/Ubuntu

iPad

iPhone

iTouch

Android (lower version)

Android (4.0 and above)

Amazon Kindle fire HD

Nintendo Wii devices

Sony Playstation devices

Xbox devices

Apple TV etc…

All these services are coming at a price with DNS that costs $4.95/month which is a premium plan, if you need a VPN service then you can go for the Gold Plan which costs $7.95/month. If you are using the VPN service then it will make you to protect your identity and makes you to have privacy while you are connected online.

So how the UnoTelly works, while there are most of the free services available in the market as like the UnoTelly offers for the little bit price, there must be special thing which makes the UnoTelly to be the top of the chart. That is nothing but UnoTelly has its own DNS servers to route all the requests from the client pc to the websites that think that the users was accessing the websites from the US or Canada or any other country you need (ie supported by UnoTelly services). Since it has its own DNS Servers you don’t need to worry about the privacy and also it provides faster bandwidth and also unlimited bandwidth for the subscribed users.

Adding VPN to the subscription makes you not to worry about your privacy security when you are online. One of the unique facility which was available in the UnoTelly VPN was it masks your IP Address and connects to the internet as if you are connected from the US or UK, that makes you to access the blocked contents from the current location. One of the major service which was available in the UnoTelly is the Dynamo service which very useful for us to select the preferred region for the different streaming services according to our choice.

So what are the contents which was offered by the UnoTelly is, It has unlocked an approximate of about 336 channels and growing more. It means that if we subscribe to UnoTelly we can access the 336 Channels and more from the current location. As we are concerned we ie from Asian countries we cant able to access the major streaming services like Netflix, Spotify, National Geographic, ABS News etc, but with the help of UnoTelly service we can now able to access numerous number of channels that too from major devices which was widely used by most of them.

After Subscribing to UnoTelly  you will get two primary and secondary DNS server address which should be configured as per the instructions in the website itself. But in Asian Countries most of them are using the Data Cards and for those people, they cant be able to configure the DNS Server address as per their instructions and to resolve that issue there is another third party tool called DNS Jumper, using this tool you can change your DNS address easily.
