What are the system requirements for using PowerPoint on Windows 7?

PowerPoint is a powerful tool that’s crucial for creating engaging presentations. To run PowerPoint on a Windows 7 system, your computer should meet the following requirements:

  • Operating System: Windows 7 or later.
  • Processor: 1 GHz or faster x86-bit or x64-bit processor with SSE2 instruction set.
  • Memory: 2 GB RAM or more for 64-bit systems; 1 GB RAM or more for 32-bit systems.
  • Hard Disk: 3.0 GB of available disk space.
  • Display: 1024 x 768 screen resolution or higher.
  • Graphics: DirectX 10 graphics card for graphics hardware acceleration.
  • Browser: The current version of Microsoft Edge, Internet Explorer, Chrome, or Firefox.
  • .NET version: .NET 3.5 required, some features may require .NET 4.0 or 4.5 CLR to also be installed.

Please note that even if your system meets these requirements, you may still experience performance issues if you are trying to run other resource-intensive applications simultaneously. For better performance, it is recommended to use systems with higher specifications than the minimum requirements.
