A multi-core processor, at least 8 GB of RAM (more for large drawings) and several gigabytes of free disk space are sensible baselines. Check Autodesk's official system requirements for your specific version before installing.

Does this update help on macOS Tahoe?

Autodesk says the 2026.1 update specifically includes fixes for compatibility issues with macOS Tahoe 26, which is a key reason 2026 users on the newest macOS should apply it.
