A technician is installing new software on an older laptop that has a current OS. The software contains a database back end that also requires installation. Which of the following should the…

Memory (RAM) is a critical system requirement for both the application and its database backend; insufficient RAM will prevent the software from running or cause severe performance degradation on older hardware.

Display settings are a user preference, not a minimum hardware requirement that would prevent software from installing or running.

Network utilization is a runtime performance metric, not a prerequisite that must be verified before local software installation.

Storage capacity must be sufficient to hold the application files, the database engine, and any data the database will generate; older laptops may lack adequate free disk space for a full installation.

Firewall rules affect network connectivity after installation, not whether the software can be installed and executed on the local system.

Antivirus signatures define known threat definitions and are not a software compatibility requirement that determines whether an application will run.
