Comments |
| Operating System (OS)* | Windows 11 PC or a Mac running a supported version of macOS | These systems offer excellent performance and compatibility with a wide range of MCC services. |
| RAM | 8GB or more | 8GB RAM is the minimum recommendation. More RAM will further improve overall system performance. |
| Storage | 500GB or more | 500GB is the minimum recommendation to accommodate the OS, applications, and user data. |
Chromebook/ChromeOS
Chromebooks/ChromeOS is not recommended to access all MCC services. While ChromeOS is a lightweight and fast operating system, it lacks the extensive software compatibility (such as with Office 365 installed applications) offered by Windows and macOS.
Linux
Linux is not a supported operating system for accessing services at MCC. If you experience issues while using Linux, MCC Tech Support is unable to assist because applications and services are not fully compatible. Similar to ChromeOS, Linux also does not support the full range of software available for Windows and macOS, including the Microsoft Office 365 desktop apps.
