Why is it important to check the minimum system requirements when installing an operating system?
The operating system is loaded into the computers internal memory (RAM) at start-up.

If a computer doesn't have enough RAM, the computer cannot run the operating system efficiently, often using empty hard-disk space - which slows down the computer.
