Microsoft Office 2010 System Requirements



"Alex Dubec", Program Manager on the Office Trustworthy Computing Performance team announced the system requirements for Microsoft Office 2010.

According to the announcement:

CPU and RAM requirements for Office 2010 are the same as for Office 2007, so if your computer meets the Office 2007 system requirements, you can run Office 2010. A graphics chipset will help boost the performance of certain features and disk footprint has increased (more on these points later), but as general rules:

  • If your current computer can run Office 2007, it can run Office 2010.
  • If you’re purchasing a new laptop or netbook, it can run Office 2010.
  • If you have a computer with a multi-core processor, it can run Office 2010 even faster.
  • If your computer is currently running Office 2003, it’s possible that it can run Office 2010 (check the requirements to be sure).

Minimum System Requirements:

  • Intel Pentium III processor, 500 MHz
  • 256 MB PC100 SDRAM
  • Windows XP Professional with Service Pack 3

If you're running Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows Server 2008, you probably already have a machine that far exceeds the minimum requirements for Office 2010.

    The system requirements should be: If it's still running, it's fine. I mean, anyone who is still running a Pentium 2 probably doesn't want new software. =/
