    How to install Minecraft Education Edition

    Before explaining, in detail, how to download Minecraft Education Edition, I believe it is my duty to provide you with some more information regarding the requirements to be met in order to use the software.


    First of all, you must know that Minecraft: Education Edition is available in three versions: as a “desktop” program for Windows and macOS, as an application for Windows 10 PCs and tablets and as an app for iPad (and Android tablets, albeit in an experimental version).


    In order to use Minecraft: Education Edition, regardless of the platform you choose, you must have a account Microsoft 365 for Education and then log in with the profile associated with your school. However, a free trial version is available, which allows you to “take” a trial lesson to test the game.

    Having made this necessary clarification, let's take a look at the hardware requirements necessary for the game to work, which are as follows.

    • Processor: Intel i3-3210 3.2 GHz, AMD A8-7600 or equivalent.
    • RAM: 2 GB.
    • Integrated video card: Intel HD Graphics 4000 or AMD Radeon R5, with support for OpenGL 4.4.
