Note that some computers (like Chromebook) or operating systems (like Windows 10 S) only allow installation from an app store, rather than from outside sources. For these devices, many of our applications like Respondus Lockdown Browser will not be able to be installed. Please keep this consideration in mind when shopping for a new device, and how you intend to use the device. |
Windows PC
Personal computers brought to campus should be running Windows 7 or higher, have at least 8 GB of RAM, and have an Ethernet card and cable. Wireless is also highly recommended. If you are purchasing a computer, or looking to upgrade, most new computers that are shipping from major computer manufacturers meet or exceed our minimum requirements. See our guidelines (minimum and recommended) for specifications needed to use our wired or wireless network. Check with the department of your major course of study for any special requirements.
