The
hardware and
software
components of a
computer system that are
required to
install and use software efficiently. The
software manufacturer will list the system requirements on the software package.
If your computer system does not meet the system requirements then the software
may not work correctly after installation. System requirements for operating
systems will be hardware components, while other application software will list
both hardware and
operating system
requirements. System requirements are most commonly seen listed as
minimum
and
recommended requirements. The minimum system requirements need to be
met for the software to run at all on your system, and the recommended system
requirements, if met, will offer better software usability.
