What are the system requirements for Microsoft Office?

Asked 2 years ago
Microsoft Office has specific system requirements that vary depending on the version you are using. However, generally, for the most recent versions of Microsoft Office, a Windows operating system such as Windows 10 or later is recommended. The processor should be at least 1 GHz or faster, with a minimum of dual-core capability required for optimal performance. In terms of RAM, a minimum of 4 GB is recommended for both 32-bit and 64-bit versions of Office, though 8 GB is preferable for better performance. Additionally, users should have at least 4 GB of available disk space and a screen resolution of 1280 x 768 pixels or higher. For Mac users, macOS versions that are updated to the most current version are generally supported, along with at least 4 GB of RAM and 10 GB of available disk space. For the most accurate and specific requirements, it is advisable to check the Microsoft Office official website for the latest information regarding system compatibility and requirements.
