- Hard Drive Storage: 256 GB (less than 256 GB okay, but may need external storage)
- OS (PC): Windows 10 (64-bit) version 20H2. Alternate versions (RT, Win 10/11 S mode) not supported
- OS (MAC): MacOS 10.15 (Catalina)
- CPU: Intel i5 (Mac or PC)
Recommended:
- Memory: 16 GB RAM (or higher)
- Hard Drive Storage: 512 GB (or higher)
