Note: Check the system requirements to make sure your PC or Mac will be able to run Office 365.

COMPONENT REQUIREMENT

Computer and processor

Windows OS: 1.6 GHz or faster, 2-core

macOS: Intel processor

Memory

Windows OS: 4 GB RAM; 2 GB RAM (32-bit)

macOS: 4 GB RAM

Hard disk

macOS: 10 GB of available disk space; HFS+ hard disk format (also known as Mac OS Extended) or APFS Updates may require additional storage over time.

Display

Windows OS: 1280 x 768 screen resolution (32-bit requires hardware acceleration for 4K and higher)

macOS: 1280 x 800 screen resolution.

Apps running inside of Microsoft Teams adhere to the Teams minimum resolution.

Minimum resolution assumes zoom, DPI settings, and text scaling are set at 100%. If not set to 100%, minimum resolution should be scaled accordingly. For example, if you set the Windows display ‘Scale and layout’ setting on your Surface Book, which has a 3000x2000 physical display, to 200%, then Office would see a logical screen resolution of 1500x1000, meeting the minimum 1280x768 requirement.
