Does 17 require more processing power than 16?

PostMon May 03, 2021 10:19 pm

Just wondering about whether i should upgrade now that I've finished a major project.
Will 17 tax my system more than 16? i've been pretty happy with how well 16 has worked and you can see my machine stats below. Any reason i shouldn't upgrade?

I got pretty much the same system and can't see a heavier load in 17.
But just in case, make sure to backup your database, so you are able to revert.
