My computer: Windows 10, Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-4790 CPU @ 3.60GHz 3.60 GHz, 8gb RAM and more than 30gb free space

I have read that the minimum requirements for CPU are "Multicore Intel® or AMD processor (2 GHz or faster processor with SSE 4.2 or later) with 64-bit support" but I don't understand about CPU and I don't know if I have enough or if it is better to update it, please help me

Hi @Silvia NP recommended HD scratch disk space is 50 GB. I'd take that much further and say 100 GB to give you plenty of room. Can you go to Photoshop Help Menu/System Info and copy/paste details in a reply? Post only once as the system takes time to process the large amount of data.

That will help determine your setup. I'd be more concerned with your GPU than your CPU questions as that can impact you more than anything. More RAM is also never a bad idea 8 GB is the minimum.

Your GPU card. @Silvia NP if you're unfamiliar with what a graphics card is, you may want to read up and familiarize yourself with your computer and its components, lest you be at a loss with any issues using Photoshop in the future. There is a base level of understanding on how to run updates, and upgrades to your graphics card drivers, etc. to maintain a good foundation for Photoshop to run smoothly.


I did not understand your question "what do you have for Graphics cards and VRAM?" my English is no that good, but thanks anyway
