all very good questions @wollethom Thom, thank you! I will offer a few tips and maybe Mike will have more. First, it is important to consider the computer’s processor speed as well as the operating system; two separate things. A 64-bit dual-core computer with processor speed of at least 2.4 GHz is the minimum for a smooth experience (quad-core is even better). The minimum for Windows 10 is version 1809 or later. Windows 11 should be fine all around. Having stable wired ethernet is the bedrock of a stable JackTrip session. The JackTrip Knowledge Base and this Forum are great places to find answers to some of these questions and more. Also, I have notice that Google AI answers are getting better and better. However, at this time it is a good idea to confirm any information AI provides. A few links to get started: Regarding computer and other requirements: > **[What Hardware Do I Need for JackTrip?](https://support.jacktrip.com/what-hardware-do-i-need)** > > JackTrip is pure software. That means all external hardware is up to you to but, as it varies depending on your setup. We want to ensure ultimate flexibility for your setup and budget. And specifically Windows 10 minimum: > [@Windows 10 install fails](https://community.jacktrip.org/t/windows-10-install-fails/764): > > I am trying to help a friend install JackTrip on his Windows 10 desktop. He downloads the app and the installer runs fine and the app gets installed, but when he tries to run it jacktrip.exe won’t run. It creates a fatal error 1000 in the windows logs. He has a 3.1Ghz, 64bit, i5 processor with 8GB of memory. Anybody have any suggestions? I suspect the MsiInstaller is failing.
