The PC Check is designed to help you determine if your computer meets some of the minimum requirements to connect through the Arise Platform.
1. Click PC Check on the top right in your Arise Portal when you log in.
2. If given a drop down that says "Select a scan to run", select Arise Minimum Standard. Otherwise, select the blue RUN button to start the scan.
3. Save the detection.exe file that populates (It will not populate if you have pop-up blockers on)
4. Locate the detection.exe file in your downloads folder.
5. Open and run the detection.exe file to run the scan on your computer.
6. You will see the results listed in the screen as well as the overall grade.
NOTE: If you are using Internet Explorer 8, the PC Scan might encounter errors or freeze while running. If so, please try using Mozilla Firefox, Google Chrome, or update to the latest IE browser and try again. ARISE IS CURRENTLY NOT COMPATIBLE WITH WINDOWS 11.
What if my computer fails any of the tests?
CPU speed test: Unfortunately, this is not something that can be fixed. Your best option is to use another computer.
RAM test: Increasing RAM is an easy and very common computer upgrade. Please work with a trained technician or if you feel comfortable performing this yourself, ensure you use the correct RAM upgrade recommended for computer model.
Operating System test: The Servicing Platform does not accept Windows Vista or XP. You will need to upgrade to Windows 10.
Is there a support specialist available to check my computer?
Unfortunately the Arise Servicing Platform will not be able to assist you in determining if your computer adheres to the system and equipment policy for use of the Arise Servicing Platform. You will need to run the PC Scan and review the complete system and equipment policy.
This test will check for the following elements on your computer:
