Mitchell1 OnDemand is a comprehensive automotive repair information software trusted by professionals. To ensure smooth operation and maximize its powerful features, your system must meet specific requirements. This article outlines the minimum and recommended specifications for running Mitchell1 OnDemand effectively.
Understanding Mitchell1 OnDemand System Requirements
Meeting the minimum requirements allows Mitchell1 OnDemand to function, while adhering to the recommended specifications ensures optimal performance and a seamless user experience. Consider these factors when setting up your system:
Processor (CPU)
While an Intel Core i3 6100 or AMD Ryzen 3 1200 meets the minimum requirement, an Intel Core i5 8400 or AMD Ryzen 5 3000 Series processor is recommended for optimal performance. Low-power CPUs, often found in laptops and all-in-one devices (identified by a “U” or “T” at the end of the model number), might underperform. ARM-based CPUs like Snapdragon or Apple Silicon are not supported.
Operating System
Mitchell1 OnDemand requires Windows 10 version 22H2 or higher (64-bit for the host computer, 32-bit for the workstation). Windows 11 (64-bit) is also recommended. Crucially, Windows S mode is not supported and must be disabled. For best results, configure Windows to US English. Windows Server and virtual environments have limited support and may require IT professional consultation. Domain controllers are not supported as host computers.
Memory (RAM)
A minimum of 8 GB RAM is required for the host computer and 4 GB for the workstation. However, 16 GB is recommended for optimal performance.
Storage
Ensure you have at least 40 GB of available hard disk space. For optimal performance, utilize an 80 GB Solid State Drive (SSD) or NVMe drive.
Network Connectivity
While a wireless local area network (WLAN) is acceptable, a wired local area network (LAN) connection is strongly recommended for a more stable and faster connection. Domain environments have limited support and might require IT assistance. Peer-to-peer workgroups are fully compatible.
Other Hardware Considerations
- Input Device: A standard keyboard and mouse are required. Mitchell1 OnDemand is not optimized for touch screens.
- Monitor: A 17-inch monitor with a minimum resolution of 1280 x 960 is required. A 22-inch monitor with a resolution of 1920 x 1080 or higher is recommended for a better viewing experience. DPI scaling support is limited.
- Printer: An inkjet or laser printer with the latest drivers installed is necessary. A color printer is recommended.
- Backup: A 16 GB backup device is required for Manager SE Connection. Using two 16 GB flash drives in rotation is recommended for robust backup.
- Internet Connection: A broadband internet connection (Cable, DSL 1.5 Mbps or higher, or T1) is required. Satellite and wireless connections are not recommended due to potential performance issues.
Administrator Privileges and Network Configuration
Mitchell1 applications require administrator-level privileges for proper functionality. Restricting user permissions might lead to operational issues. Only one host computer is supported per local network. For multiple shops in the same location, ensure separate local networks for each host.
