Graphics card: Microsoft DirectX 9 graphics device with WDDM driver
A tablet or monitor that supports multitouch.
Windows Store apps require a screen resolution of at least 1024x768, and to snap apps you'll need a 1366x768 screen resolution.
However, if you have an unusual screen resolution like the netbooks default 1024x600, use this registry hack to adjust the resolution so you can run Windows 8 (or just get a higher-res display).
Internet access is required to download new features and update security-related information from Windows Update.
Some games/applications only run at full capacity if used with graphics cards with DirectX 10 or higher.
