Explanation:

1. Ensure that the operating system is not a 32-bit operating system.

Windows Server 2012 is a 64- bit operating system, therefore one can not install it

on any server that is running a 32-bit processor core.

2. Ensure that the available disk space is 40 GB or greater.

The minimum available disk space required for the installation is 32 GB but Microsoft recommends 40 GB or greater.

3. Ensure that the Memory is 2 GB RAM or even much more.

The minimum memory required for the installation is 512MB RAM but Microsoft recommends 2 GB or greater than 2GB.

4. Processor Speed should be above 2 GHz

For faster operation it is recommended that the processor speed be 2 GHz or faster.
