You can check the software's official website for system requirements or look for compatibility information in the software's documentation.

What should I do if I encounter a resource conflict?

If you encounter a resource conflict, try closing unnecessary applications, checking for background processes, or adjusting system settings to allocate resources more effectively.

Are there tools to help diagnose software conflicts?

Yes, there are several diagnostic tools available, such as Windows Event Viewer, System Configuration (msconfig), and third-party software like Process Explorer.
