I currently have MS Office 2007 installed on a Windows 10 PC. I mostly use Outlook 2007 which I've been using since Office 96/97.

However I'm having a few difficulties with Outlook such as crashing or freezing once in a while and the the search functions seems to be broken. Some e-mails the images won't display.

I've been looking at MS Office 2010, 2013 and 2016, but don't really need the additional features and overhead.

System requirements MS Office

2007 - 2GB HD space, 500MHz CPU minimum, 1.4GHz processor recommended for some features, 256MB RAM minimum

2010 - suggested minimum requirements are a 500 MHz processor and 256 MB of RAM.

2013 -

CPU 1 GHz clock speed, IA-32 or x64 architecture with SSE2 support
RAM IA-32 edition: 1 GB x64 edition: 2 GB
Hard disk drive 3.0 GB free disk space
Operating system Windows 7 Windows Server 2008 R2 Windows 8 Windows Server 2012 Windows 8.1 Windows Server 2012 R2 Windows 10



2016 -

• 1 GHz processor.
• 2GB RAM.
• 3 GB of available disk space; better to have some extra space for temp files.
• Screen resolution of a minimum 1280 x 800.
• Windows 7 SP1 or above operating system; Works best on latest operating system according to Microsoft.

I'm wondering if upgrading will solve problems with Outlook and what version runs better under Windows 10?

I think perhaps since I'm running Windows 10 64-bit, I should upgrade to a 64-bit version of MS Office?
