System requirements

Before you install, or if you experience operating problems, make sure that your computer meets the system requirements.

PC specifications

Check CPU/RAM as well as hard disk space. The table below provides minimum and recommended system requirement

Supported operating systems ‡

Since EmbroideryStudio no longer supports Windows® 32-bit operating systems, we recommend updating to Windows® 11 (64-bit edition) with latest updates installed. You will, however, need to uninstall any earlier versions of CorelDRAW® Graphics Suite. 

Free hard disk space †

EmbroideryStudio occupies up to 5GB of hard disk space, depending on options installed. CorelDRAW® Graphics Suite also takes up an additional 3GB. However, you need additional free space for your applications to run smoothly.

Screen resolution ¥

Some controls may be hidden on the user interface if you run your monitor at low resolutions. The physical size of your monitor will have a bearing on the optimum screen resolution. Larger fonts will exacerbate the problem. If you experience visibility issues, try adjusting both screen resolution and font size. For example, a resolution of 1600 x 900 with a font size of 100% or 125% should be acceptable.

Power plan

For best performance make sure your PC is set to high performance power plan.
