* Minimum RAM requirements to run ESPRIT alone. More RAM is recommended if you plan to run ESPRIT concurrently with other memory-intensive software (e.g., 3D CAD applications).
** The recommended NVMe SSDs offer faster access and transfer than SATA bus SSDs. Pro-model SATA SSDs are also acceptable.

***Microsoft ended support for Windows 7 in January 2020. It is unsafe to continue using Windows 7 after Microsoft ends support, as you will no longer receive important security updates from Microsoft. If you currently use Windows 7, it is strongly recommended that you update your operating system as soon as possible.
ESPRIT will end support for Windows 7 after ESPRIT 2021.
