Minimum Remix OS System Requirements

Before downloading and installing Remix OS, I was expecting that It will run on an old PC with 1 GB of RAM. I tried to install it on my old Dell computer with 1 GB of RAM, But It failed to boot. It remained stuck on the Remix OS logo for too long and I finally gave up installing it. 

You will find no exceptional system requirements As far as other requirements are concerned. Other requirements are

At least 16 GB free hard drive space for installing Remix OS on the hard drive for both dual or single boot.

Make sure your computer or Laptop has USB 3.0 Slots. Otherwise, It will take  extremely long time to boot.

You must have a USB flash or memory card with a capacity of 8GB or higher. And do not forget to make sure that writing speed of the USB drive or Memory card is more 20 megabytes per second. Otherwise, It will take extremely long time to boot.

The most important thing you need to take into account. Make sure Legacy boot mode is turned on or supported by the bios. Though You can install Re mix OS, but You cannot dual boot between Windows, Mac, Linux and Remix OS, If legacy boot mode is turned off or not supported.
