Introduction
The goal of this exercise is ensure that you have the correct version and level of ArcGIS Pro

Important: We ask all students, whether you have ArcGIS Pro installed or not, to
complete this exercise.

Step 1: Confirm that your computer can run ArcGIS Pro

a If you have not already completed the System Check for ArcGIS Pro lesson in Section 1,
please return to that lesson and complete it now.
The System Check lesson confirms and documents that your computer meets the
requirements to run ArcGIS Pro.
Even if you already have ArcGIS Pro installed, we encourage all students to run the test.
If your computer does not pass, you are guided to make the updates needed to meet the
requirements and asked to run the test again.
We ask that you save the results when your computer "passes" for reference. If you should
need help when working with ArcGIS Pro during the course, we will ask you to share these
results. If you cannot provide the results showing your computer passed the test, we may not
be able to help you.
