  2. A minimum of 1 gigabyte (GB) RAM (32-bit) or 2 GB RAM (64-bit)
  3. A minimum of 50 MB hard disk space.
  4. Adequate space for storing session video recordings. Recordings are stored temporarily on the hard disk and their size can vary depending on the duration and screen activity of the session.
