    Hey Wiserjet, you can find the system requirements here.

    In a nutshell, for TestComplete, Windows 7 32-bit up through 11 are supported, but at least Windows 10 64-bit is recommended. You'll need at least an Intel Core 2 Duo 2 GHz but an i5 or i7 is recommended, you'll need at least 2 GB of RAM but 16 GB is recommended. 

    There are some other specs that are less likely to be important to call out (e.g., you need a mouse...) but check out that page for some requirements specific to some types of testing that you may or may not need to do.

    The requirements and recommendations for TestExecute are similar, except around Disk Space requirements based on a quick glance. You can find those requirements here.

  • The minimum and optimal PC requirements for TestComplete and TestExecute depend on the version you're using, but generally, you'll need at least:

    Minimum Requirements:

    • Windows 10 or later (64-bit)
    • 4 GB RAM (but 8 GB is better)
    • Intel Core i3 or equivalent
    • Around 2-3 GB of free disk space
    • .NET Framework (specific version depends on TestComplete version)

    Optimal Requirements (for smooth performance):

    • Windows 10/11 (64-bit)
    • 16 GB RAM or more
    • Intel Core i5/i7 or AMD Ryzen 5/7
    • SSD for faster performance
    • At least 5-10 GB of free disk space

    If you're working on large test suites or testing heavy applications, having more RAM and a better processor helps a lot. Hope this helps! Let me know if you need more details.
