OneNote Recommended System Requirements

Keep in mind that Table C.1 lists the minimum system requirements. A computer with those specifications will definitely run OneNote, but might not run it well (particularly if you're trying to run more than just one application at a time). If you want to ensure that OneNote runs well on your computer, consider installing OneNote on a computer with at least the requirements outlined in Table C.2.

You'll notice some of the requirements are the same in both tables. Typically, the two components that have the greatest effect on system performance are processor speed and RAM.
