    Hello - What are the system requirements for running a local CRM dev environment? I'm about to finish my first CRM project and my local dev environment was on a computer running Windows Server 2008 R2. Is a Windows Server 2008 R2 OS a requirement for running a local CRM dev environment? 

    My personal laptop has Windows 7 and I was wondering if this would support a local dev env.  If not then what's the easiest way to get a local CRM dev environment setup on my laptop without buying a new laptop? Are there any other system requirement gotchas I should be aware of?  My laptop is only about 1 year old.

    Check out Microsoft Dynamics CRM 2011 Administrator's Guide in the following link, hope It is useful.

    A windows 7 machine with visual studio installed should allow you to continue with development for CRM 2011. You can always use a CRM Online instance for development instead of CRM On-Premise deployment.

    With a Windows 8 64 bit machine, you can even setup a hyper-v machine and actually have a copy of CRM On-Premise installed along with visual studio so that you can have a CRM and development on the same box. easier for debugging.
