Hi

I want to ask if my pc can run adobe premiere or not

My pc specs are:

 

Intel core i7 1st gen

6gb ddr3 1333mhz of ram

Radeon R9 270

 

I just want to start learning premiere as I am planning to move from mac final cut pro to premiere.

To paraphrase Ann:

 

With that i7-920 and only 6 GB total of RAM, Premiere Pro 2020 will launch; however, there will be major stability issues unless you upgrade to newer hardware witrh more RAM. The program will crash if you try to do anything significant within that program.

 

And I am assuming that that i7-920 was running Windows 10. In that case, then FCP will not run at all as it is OSX only. Windows cannot run Mac-specific programs at all. (And I cannot say anything about "Hackintosh" as weird issues can, and do, occur in those systems.)

i7 1st gen, as in a 920 or simular. Your machine is 12 years old. Premiere 2020 will not run.

CS6 will do ok, but alas no longer available.

Stick to FCP or buy a new computer.

Look at the link joellebh posted.

If you're using an older version of Premiere, your specs can be lower.

For current versions, the minimum recommended RAM is 8GB.
