Edge Cloud System Requirements

Use the Edge Cloud System Requirements link from the Edge Cloud Help menu to open the Edge Cloud System Requirements application, which can help you determine how well-suited your computer is for running Edge Cloud.

1. Open Help Options Menu - Home or File ribbon bar > Help > Edge System Requirements. (Learn more about the Help options menu.)

   

2. Install Application - The first time you open the Edge System Requirements tool, and whenever the application is updated, you will need to install the application to your computer. Once installed, you can run the tool and check your computer performance rating as often as you wish. Note that the application must be installed on each computer you want to check.

3. Run Tests - Click the Run Tests button to gather performance data about this computer. Note that running the tests may take a few minutes, and your computer screen may flicker on and off once or twice during the process.

   

4. Check Performance Ratings - Click the Check button to compare this computer's components against the Edge System Requirements specifications. After the check has been performed,the application displays a simple thumbs up or thumbs down for our minimum and recommended specifications. To show the details that make up each rating, click the Details option. A computer that passes the minimum rating will lead to program performance that is only minimally acceptable. These minimums are meant for non-critical or lower use stations and will not be suitable for all program uses. For a better experience follow the recommended specifications. Passing the recommended rating means the computer should provide an optimal Edge Cloud experience.

   

5. Print Results - (Optional.) Click the Print button to send the test results to a printer.
