and since my ancient patched together PC runs it fine, you should have little problem.

I'm working on the Iowa 1895 state census while I wait for 1940 to be released. I tried Ancestry first, but I didn't like how little of the records they would share for free to the public, so now I use FamilySearch which seems to release more.
