CPU: Quad-core Intel or AMD, 3 GHz or faster
RAM: 16 GB (32 GB preferred for demanding tasks)
Storage: 256 GB SSD (OS) + 1 TB SDD (Data)
GPU: DirectX 11 or 12 compatible graphics card with the latest drivers
DirectX: 11 or 12

Mac OS:

Operating System: macOS Monterey or later
CPU: Apple Silicon (M1 Pro, M1 Max, M2, or newer) or an Intel i7/i9 processor
RAM: At least 16 GB (32 GB preferred for demanding tasks)
