Windows 11 works great.
Any Windows 11 system you can purchase today will run Furniture
Pro very well. Please use the Typical Server configuration below as a
hardware reference and you will love it. If you really want to increase the speed get a
512 Gig (or bigger) SSD drive as your hard drive. To print CONTRACTS
(multi part form with carbon) we
use the Okidata 320 Turbo printer. As of 2026 we only set up new
contracts to print on laser printers. In addition you will need a laser
(NOT inkjet) printer for reports etc. You MUST
have Internet Access to update the program.

Windows 11 works great. Any Windows 11 system you can purchase today will
run Furniture Pro very well. If you really want to increase the speed get a 512 Gig (or
bigger) SSD drive as your hard drive on the SERVER computer only. To print CONTRACTS
(multi part form with carbon) we
use the Okidata 320 Turbo printer. As of 2026 we only set up new contracts
to print on laser printers. In addition you will need a laser
(NOT inkjet) printer for reports etc. Our only support option now is the Internet. You MUST
have Internet Access to update the program. The network itself should be at
least of the 100 megabit variety. Gigabit networking is also very nice.
-
Typical Server - Minimum - Core
I5 with 16 gig RAM and Windows 11 Professional. 512 Gig (or larger) hard drive (7200 rpm 8meg cache)
(or equivalent SSD for more speed) - 1080p screen - 100 Megabit Minimum
network (NOT WIFI) - Internet Access -
Several USB Thumb Drives (2 gig) for backup. Somewhere on the LAN should be a
shared laser (NOT inkjet) printer for reports etc and a shared Okidata 320
Turbo if you want to print multi part contracts.
-
Typical Workstation -
Minimum - Core I5 - 16 gig RAM running Windows 11 Pro. You will really
be happier going for Pro and NOT the Home version, but Home will usually
work, 250 gig hard drive -
1080p screen - 100 Megabit Minimum network (NOT WIFI). With the proper operating
system, we can support up to 15 workstations.
-
It is the responsibility of the hardware
provider to have the network up and running when we come to
install the software. PLEASE make SURE the SERVER
is on a fixed IP address since Windows 11 can be quite cranky setting up
network shares. We will do the drive mappings for
our software as part of our installation process..
