 The BBT software runs on Microsoft Windows only.
-We recommend Windows 10, but previous versions such as Windows 7 and Windows 8 will work as well.

+For effective and smooth timing of events we recommed your computer to have at least:

-These are not strict requirements but a suggested guideline. It will also depend on the complexity on your events. For example a marathon with 20.000 runners will be much more demanding that a 5k fun run with 200 participants.
+These are not strict requirements but a guideline as you want to be sure to match the capacity of your hardware with the complexity on your events. For example a marathon with 20.000 runners will challenge your hardware much more that a 5k fun run with 200 participants.
-The disks usage of BBT is quite limited, so you do not need a huge disk. In general, a faster disk (SSD) is preferred over a big disk. Beware that if you want to use video recording a lot, this will however take up a lot of disk space.
+BBT is making very limited use of the disk in your computer. Thus, a fast disk (SSD) is preferred over a big disk. However, please note that video recording will require much disk space.
