What are the system requirements for using PowerPoint on Windows 10?

Running PowerPoint on Windows 10 requires a system with specific hardware and software capabilities. Below are the key system requirements:

Operating System

You must have Windows 10 or a more recent version installed on your computer.

Processor

Your system should have at least a 1.6 GHz or faster, 2-core processor. For better performance, a 2.0 GHz 2-core processor or higher is recommended.

Memory

For 32-bit systems, a minimum of 2 GB RAM is necessary, while 64-bit systems require a minimum of 4 GB RAM.

Hard Disk

You need at least 4 GB of available disk space for installation and usage.

Display

PowerPoint requires a screen resolution of at least 1280 x 768. However, a higher resolution is preferred for a better viewing experience.

Graphics

The system should have graphics hardware acceleration, which requires a DirectX 9 or later graphics card with WDDM 2.0 or higher driver.

Internet Connection

An internet connection is necessary for accessing online features, performing updates, and validating the Microsoft Office license.

It’s important to note that these are the basic requirements for running PowerPoint. If you plan to use advanced features, such as 3D models, additional system resources may be required.
