Let’s forget the processors listed and let’s talk about the real requirement. I’m guessing most of your couldn’t name what processor you have so this requirement is a bit of a mystery to you. NET services which are part of more recent service packs. While it isn’t spelled out, CorelDRAW does require the latest release of the. Corel does specify you need all of the latest service packs for Windows. As mentioned earlier, you need a 64-bit operating system to run the 64-bit version of CorelDRAW. The 32-bit version of CorelDRAW X6 will work on both 32-bit and 64-bit flavors of Windows (note Windows XP 64-bit is not supported). Specifically it will run on Windows XP, Windows Vista and Windows 7. That said, it does seem to work quite well using Boot Camp or Parallels to run Windows.Īs I said, you must have Windows. If you do run it on a Mac, Corel won’t officially support it. The reasons Why You Shouldn’t Expect a Mac Version of CorelDRAW were covered last summer. Mac users, I am simply the messenger so please don’t shoot me as I have nothing to do with this decision.
If you have a Mac, you will need to install Windows on it to run CorelDRAW Graphics Suite X6. Let’s start with the biggest hardware requirement.
Corel will add support for Windows 8 in a future service pack of CorelDRAW X6 once Windows 8 has been officially released. Windows 8 is not officially supported with the initial release. In order to run the 64-bit version of CorelDRAW X6, you do need to have a 64-bit operating system.
We highly recommend you consider updating to Windows 7 and we have suggested to you in Migrate Your Operating System to 64-bit.
In the upcoming days, I’ll address other areas on days most appropriate to those topics.
That way I can respond to your comment with an answer for everyone. If you have more questions on today’s topic, please post as a comment to the blog or on the Graphics Unleashed Facebook page rather than e-mailing me. As today is our designated “hardware” day for the blog, I’m going to focus on answering some questions related to the hardware requirements for CorelDRAW Graphics Suite X6. CorelDRAW Graphics Suite X6 has been released and I’ve been bombarded by questions via every method imaginable.
