Paydae Desktop system requirements
Check supported Windows versions, architecture, and requirements for optional Windows Hello sign-in.
Paydae Desktop is a Windows application with a bundled local payroll host. Check these requirements before installing or moving a workspace.
| Requirement | Current support |
|---|---|
| Operating system | Windows 10 version 1903 (build 18362) or later |
| Architecture | 64-bit Windows; the packaged app and backend target 64-bit Windows |
| Installation | Permission to run the approved installer and accept its licence agreement |
| Windows Hello, optional | Windows 11 version 22H2 (build 22621) or later, with Windows Hello configured for the workspace owner |
Windows Hello is an alternate owner sign-in method. It is unavailable on older Windows versions, and auditor accounts use password sign-in. Password and offline recovery remain available without Windows Hello.
Local data and backup planning
The workspace, payroll data, generated outputs and local host run on the computer. Provide a secure location for the workspace and a separate destination for encrypted backups. Keep the owner’s recovery code outside the computer. Available storage depends on the organisation’s payroll history, documents and backup retention; the product source does not publish a fixed RAM, processor or free-disk minimum, so this guide does not invent one.
An internet connection is not stated as a prerequisite for the current local trial and ordinary local payroll work. Features that obtain updates or use an external delivery channel may have separate connectivity requirements.
