Preparing yourself in advance for the installation can save you a lot of trouble later. In this article, we’ll review the steps required before installing the software and what you should know. And if you have any questions, don’t hesitate to ask!

1. Your computer – your best friend

System requirements

First of all, your computer needs to be equipped with some essential content for the smooth installation and work with Revit. To check if your computer is suitable, it is worth checking the generation and performance of your processor, the amount of RAM, and the graphics card.

• Processor : At least i5 or equivalent.
• RAM : At least 16GB.
• Graphics card : An NVIDIA or AMD graphics card supports DirectX 11, so the software’s response time will be fast.

2. Operating system

Revit supports specific operating systems, and the most important thing is to make sure your system is up to date. It is a good idea to upgrade to Windows 10 or higher, otherwise you may find it difficult to use the software and this may lead to problems.

5. Licensing and account adjustment

It is a good idea to have a valid license card before installation. This can save you a lot of hassle in the future. Revit is not free, so it is a good idea to check if you are eligible for a free version through the institution where you study or work.

6. Make order

Before installing, it’s a good idea to tidy up your computer. Delete files you don’t need and try to organize your file groups. This will not only make your work with Revit easier, but it will also make your computer run a little faster.
