Do you know the minimum system requirements?

Do you know the minimum system requirements?

Bwahaha, answering somebody else's question.
Since Streamlabs is OBS-based and for whatever reason I can't find the system resources, I'll source this page.

Assuming you have a Windows PC, you will need a GPU that supports DirectX 10.1, and you need to be running either Windows 8, Windows 8.1 or Windows 10. I guess it *might* run if you still have Windows 7, but you shouldn't still be using it anyway. If you still have Windows 7, either get a new PC or dualboot Linux and only use Windows for software that won't work in Wine. (You can also do it if you have Windows 10, because Linux has much better security.) The page literally says nothing about actual system requirements such as CPU and RAM compatability, but its safe to assume you probably need a fair bit of RAM if you want to stream. I saw here that you should have at least 4 Gigabytes of RAM and a quad-core or dual-core CPU. That said, most CPUs nowadays are quad-core anyway.

Specifically for Streamlabs (and probably OBS) you will need to install both the 64-bit and 32-bit executables of Microsoft Visual C++ 2017.

It's safe to assume that if you have an ancient potato PC you're likely not going to get anywhere with OBS, let alone Streamlabs, which uses Electron - a HTML render for the desktop that uses Chrome's RAM chomping rendering engine. However, if you have a decently spec'd modern PC, it should run seamlessly.

Wait, is it no longer possible to upgrade from Windows 7 to 8/10?

You can if you pay and install it manually. However, most Windows 7 PCs probably won't be able to run Windows 10 without being really slow.

Thanks, now I can also record SMBX.
