Hello,
I am new here in this forum and also the use of the software BIAB is quite new for me. Yesterday, I downloaded and (hopefully correctly) installed the "Band-in-a-Box® and RealBand 2022" Software for Windows. Regarding my hardware used, are there any specific requirements that should be met? I have an older 17" notebook from Acer with a relatively old i5 processor and 8 GB RAM and for OS I use WIN 7 Ultimate. All in all, I've been getting along pretty well with it so far (using Reaper, for example). If I should buy a newer PC soon....what specifications should it have? And could I then install the BIAB software on it if it does not run smoothly or at all on the old NB? Thanks for your help.
Greetings, de Nobbi

Whoops,
today I tried a little bit (without knowing exactly what I'm doing) and also opened "Real Band" .... When pressing the record button I suddenly had a processor load of almost 100%. And that was it....no more reaction for all actions.... I wonder if my hardware is really still good enough to handle the software? I have my doubts at the moment.

Welcome de Nobbi! Computer requirements are posted here. Please note that these are the minimum requirements, so Band-in-a-Box and RealBand would run even better on a computer with higher specs: https://www.pgmusic.com/bbwin.requirements.htm Updates for both Band-in-a-Box and RealBand have very recently been posted. You can download and install them from here if you haven't already: https://www.pgmusic.com/support.updates.win.htm If you are still having issues with RealBand afterwards, please feel free to contact us directly either on live chat or email support@pgmusic.com. Also, for more specific issues related to realBand, there is the RealBand forum here: https://www.pgmusic.com/forums/ubbthreads.php?ubb=postlist&Board=33&page=1
Best,
Chantelle

As mentioned, your computer with an i5 meets the requirements. My backup PC has an i5.
When buying a new computer, I recommend you concentrate your money in two areas if BIAB is your main use:
1. CPU
2. SSD storage
One area you do not need to be concerned with is Graphics.
BIAB 2024 Win Audiophile. Software: Studio One 6.5 Pro, Swam horns, Acoustica-7, Notion 6; Win 11 Home. Hardware: Intel i9, 32 Gb; Roland Integra-7, Presonus Studio 192, Presonus Faderport 8, Royer 121, Adam Sub8 & Neumann 120 monitors
