If you are installing WFA on a virtual machine (VM), you should reserve the required memory and CPU so that the VM has sufficient resources. The installer does not verify the CPU speed.
Software requirements for installing WFA
WFA runs on a 64-bit Windows operating system, and should be installed on dedicated physical machines or VMs. You must not install any other application on the server that runs WFA.
WFA runs from Microsoft Windows Server 2012 Enterprise Edition to Microsoft Windows Server 2016 (all editions). Enterprise Edition is the recommended Windows operating system.
For Windows 2012 servers, .NET Framework version 4.5.2 must be installed on your Windows system. If .NET Framework version 4.5.2 is not installed, WFA 5.1 installation fails.
