Minimum Hardware Requirements


Hello!
I'm in charge of installing HyperWorks on my Baja design team's communal computer, but I had concerns about our hardware. The computer is a bit old, and we receive our sponsorship licensing through a MAC address. For this reason, I need to make sure we put the program on the correct computer before we move ahead with it.
The current communal desktop computer in our room is a stock 2011 Optiplex 990:
250 GB HDD
8GB DDR3
Windows 7
3.1GHz 2nd Gen i5 Processor
Intel HD Graphics 2000
Definitely not very modern. We tend to use our individual laptops to do most of our CAD work, so the computer isn't used very often. Do y'all think that the program will run reliably on here? The lady we're in contact with doesn't seem to think it requires all that much power to run, but I don't know if she realized the computer was almost 8 years old.
Thanks!

Do you use only pre- & post-processing? or also with solver?
An example of a good workstation for HW:
- CPU i7 > 3 GHz, >= 4 core
- Memory RAM >= 16G
- Graphic card Nvidia Quadro >= 2G ram
