WinZip system requirements
WinZip has always been a tool that was very lightweight in general, and admittedly, there is no reason why a program that is mainly an achiever would take up a lot of resources.
Tests made while using the product released that it uses the most resources during archiving and unzipping data, but that itself was to be expected.
More so, the values themselves were extremely low anyway.
That being said, here are the recommended system requirements to run WinZip optimally:
- Operating System: Microsoft®Windows®XP, Windows Vista®,or Windows 7 with the latest service packs installed, or Windows 10.
- Processor: Pentium®-compatible 350MHz or higher processor.
- Memory: 128 MB of RAM.
- Space: 15.4 MB of hard disk space.
- Monitor specifications: 640 x 480 or higher monitor resolution.
- Peripherals: Mouse.
