We strongly advise that users have a minimum of 8 GB of RAM (Windows 64-bit) and preferably 16 GB or better. That way you can simply reimport such to get your profile(s) functioning properly after a restore. If you intend to engage the Windows system restore to resolve problems with Windows and/or Dragon, be sure that you export your user profile before doing so. Keep in mind that using the Windows system restore feature to recover from problems with Dragon is ill advised because it can, and will, because your user profile(s) to fail to load if you’re restore point is too far back in time. Either leave the Windows system restore settings as they are by default, or disable such. Doing so will quickly eat up your drive space. If you are going to change the default settings for the Windows system restore points, be careful that you don’t assign excessive disk space to such. Just keep in mind that if you run out of drive space, you will run into problems running applications and Windows, most specifically Dragon. You need at least 120 GB of free space on your C drive for Windows and applications, such as Dragon, to load and run properly. Keep in mind that Dragon runs completely in memory (RAM), so installing and using an SSD will not make Dragon run faster. SSD’s will not increase the performance or accuracy of Dragon, but they will allow both Windows and Dragon to load faster. Your C drive should be no smaller than 256 GB, and preferably 512 GB or larger. You can also load and run your user profiles from external drives and/or USB thumb drives as long as they are of sufficient size.Īlso, make sure that you are using a C drive with sufficient disk space.

You can always move these to a secondary drive or other location if you so desire.

The largest portion of Dragon is/are your user profile(s). These cannot be moved or installed anywhere but on your boot drive. Most of the program files and some common files will be installed on your C drive regardless. Saving these to your desktop or to your boot drive is inadvisable because if your system crashes and you have to reinstall Windows, you may lose those files.ĭon’t attempt to install Dragon on other than your boot drive (C drive). We strongly advise that you save it to a USB thumb drive, or an external drive. Be sure that you save your Dragon install files to a safe location, along with including your Dragon serial number.
