The most important minimum requirements for Windows are:

• 8 GB RAM
• OpenGL 3.2+ graphics support
• up to date graphics drivers

Windows System Requirements

Windows support information is grouped by operating system version:

• Windows 10
• Windows 8.x
• Windows 7

Make sure you have the latest drivers and get them directly from the manufacturer.

Laptop manufacturers are notorious for providing out of date graphics drivers that are often many years old. Download your graphics drivers directly from Intel, AMD or NVIDIA.

If you have hybrid graphics then you need to update both even if you only use the discrete graphics card.

• Updating Intel graphics drivers
• Updating AMD graphics drivers
• Updating NVIDIA graphics drivers

Display Driver Uninstaller (DDU)

If you have an older GPU or recently upgraded to a 10 series Nvidia GPU you may need to use DDU (Display Driver Uninstaller) before installing the latest driver:
