QuickBooks Desktop 2024 requires a 64-bit Windows operating system and won't run on 32-bit. Your processor will need to be 2.4 GHz at minimum, and RAM for workstations is 5 GB minimum, although 16 GB is recommended.
For disk space:
- 2.5 GB of disk space (additional required for data files).
- Microsoft .NET 4.8 Runtime - 60 MB, provided with the installation files.
- Intuit Data Protect in QuickBooks Connected Services offerings:
- Requires minimum 4.0GB RAM.
- Twice the size of the largest file set to back up +
100MB or twice the size to restore. The space is
only required from the work folder. LocalApplicationData+"Intuit\Intuit Data Protect".
For the best performance, I'd recommend storing your QuickBooks data file on a solid-state drive (SSD).
If you're using a Windows computer, you'll need to make sure you're using the North American version of Windows and that its regional settings are supported when set to English language. Administrator rights are required for your server computer when hosting multi-user access. Windows must also be natively installed and run without the assistance of a virtual environment or emulation software.
