Keeping your computer system's software up-to-date is like keeping your oil fresh and your machine running smoothly. Some computer components require their own software to work-like oil in an engine.

It should be no surprise that Premiere Pro's performance depends on your computer hardware: CPU, GPU, RAM, storage, etc.
