1. Hardware specifications
An older PC with a slow CPU, less RAM, and a traditional hard disk drive (HDD) will take significantly longer to install than a more modern PC with better hardware, such as an SSD.
2. USB stick and installation media
Installing from a USB stick is usually faster than from a DVD. A fast USB 3.0 stick can significantly reduce installation time compared to an older USB 2.0 stick.
3. Previous operating system
If you're upgrading from an older version of Windows, it may take longer than a clean install because it needs to migrate data and check old programs.
4. Internet speed
If updates need to be downloaded during installation, a slow internet connection can increase the overall time.
2.) Estimated time when installing Windows 12 directly from a USB stick:
- Faster old PC (e.g. with SSD and 8GB RAM)
Between 20 minutes and 1 hour.
- Slower old PC (e.g. with HDD and 4GB RAM)
Between 1 and 2 hours.
These estimates include the time for loading from USB stick, installation and setting up the system. Note that the actual time may vary depending on individual circumstances.
3.) Estimated duration with Windows 12 download without stick:
- Faster old PC (eg with SSD and 8GB RAM)
Between 30 minutes and 1.5 hours.
- Slower old PC (eg with HDD and 4GB RAM)
Between 1.5 and 3 hours.
These estimates include the time for downloading, preparing, installing and setting up the system. Note that the actual duration may vary.
