System Requirements
Supported Operating System
Windows 10 (64-bit) and Windows 11 (64-bit) (Recommended)
Older operating systems such as Windows 8.1 and Windows Server 2012/2012 R2 may work,
but are not recommended and may not be fully compatible with newer components
such as SQL Server 2022.
Hardware Requirements
Minimum (Single Terminal, Light Use Only)
- CPU: Intel Core i3 (or AMD equivalent)
- RAM: 8GB
- Storage: SSD with at least 64GB free space
This setup is suitable for small businesses using a single terminal. Performance may be limited.
Recommended (Most Installations)
- CPU: Intel Core i5 (or AMD equivalent)
- RAM: 8GB – 16GB
- Storage: SSD (required)
Provides smooth and reliable performance for most retail environments.
Server / Multi-Terminal Setup
- CPU: Intel Core i5 / i7 (or AMD equivalent)
- RAM: 16GB recommended
- Storage: High-speed SSD (NVMe preferred)
Required when multiple computers connect to the same database. A stronger CPU is critical for
handling multiple users and database operations.
Important Notes
-
Systems with low-performance processors such as Intel Celeron or Pentium may install successfully,
but can result in slow performance, database timeouts, or restore failures.
-
SQL Server performance is highly dependent on CPU and RAM. Insufficient resources may cause
errors during database operations such as backups and restores.
-
A Solid State Drive (SSD) is strongly recommended. Traditional hard drives (HDD) may result
in poor performance.
