Hi everybody,
I am considering upgrading to Premiere Pro 2020, but I don't know if my system meets the minimum hardware requirements. I have:
CPU: Intel i7 4770k
RAM: 16 GB
Video Card: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 760
Hard Drives: Samsung SSD 256 GB for a system drive, and another drive for storage only.
I tried looking at the system requirements page, but couldn't determine whether or not my hardware meets those requirements.

Officially, your system is too old for Adobe's minimum requirements. The CPU platform is the determinig factor, in this case. Adobe officially requires a 6th-Generation or newer CPU due to Intel's support policy for its older hardware. You see, Intel had placed all of its 4th- and 5th-Generation CPUs into "legacy" support status long before Premiere Pro 2019 was even released. And Adobe opted to adopt a policy to only officially support hardware that's still in the mainstream support phase. The 4th-Generation CPUs had not been updated significantly in years; in fact, only critical security patches had been released since back in 2017 for the newer drivers for the integrated graphics of these CPUs. The only way to circumvent the "Unsupported video driver" warning upon Premiere Pro's launch is to completely disable the Intel graphics in the computer's BIOS. You will not be able to utilize hardware encoding with the Intel QuickSync without an enabled iGPU, and you may experience noticeably degraded editing and program performance and/or crashing with such an older CPU.
And the GTX 760 barely meets the minimum requirement of 2 GB of VRAM in order to work properly on the latest versions of Premiere Pro. In fact, forget about using that GPU for any newer versions of Premiere Pro because Kepler GPUs, even desktop ones (though still supported with the latest Game Ready drivers), have aged poorly even when compared to their AMD Radeon contemporaries (though they, too, are rather poorly suited to Premiere Pro due to flaws in the OpenCL 2.0 specification itself).
