Hardware Requirements

ClinicOffice is a Microsoft Windows program and runs on Windows 8.1 and 10/11 and all versions of Windows Server from 2008 onwards (i.e. 2008, 2012, 2016). It has full support for both 32-bit and 64-bit architectures.

(NOTE: ClinicOffice requires the .NET Framework 4.5, which means it will NOT run on Windows XP/7 or Server 2003.)

The following table shows the recommended and minimum computer specifications…

	Recommended	Minimum
Operating System	Windows 10/11	Windows 8.1
Processor	Intel Core i3 series (or higher) or AMD Ryzen X Series (or higher)	Intel Pentium Dual-Core or AMD Ryzen G Series
Memory	6 Gb (or more)	4 Gb
Screen	1680 x 1050 resolution (or higher)	1024 x 768 resolution
Network	1000mbit (Gigabit) wired network	100mbit wired network

As a general rule, any new computer with an Intel Core i3, i5, i7 (or equivalent AMD processor) will be fine, as will most decent computers which were purchased within the last couple of years.

Intel Atom netbooks (or ‘nettops’) are not really adequate for running a database application like ClinicOffice. Atom processors are very under-powered so we recommend against them.

	Recommendations
Operating System	For most clinics Windows 10/11 will be perfectly adequate. ClinicOffice does not require a ‘SERVER’ edition of Windows, however if you do require Windows Server for other applications, it will run happily on Windows Server 2012 R2 and above.
Processor	We would recommend an Intel Core i7 processor (or an Intel Xeon which is essentially the same thing for dedicated ‘Server’ computers).
Memory	The more the better. A minimum of 16 GB is recommended.
Screen	Largely irrelevant as it won’t be regularly in use. However we do recommend actually having a monitor attached to your server. Some companies install servers without any monitor leaving you to remotely connect to the server, which is fine until something goes wrong and you can’t see what’s happening!
Network	We very strongly recommend 1000mbit (Gigabit) wired network which requires CAT5e (or higher) cabling.
