Can my low end PC run it?
Okay, I have a rather slow pc. Its an Alienware Alpha R1. I bought it from a friend cheap just so i could get into PC gaming. Here are my specs

* Intel i3-4130T @ 2.90Ghz (2 cores with hyperthreading)
* 8gbs of RAM
* Windows 10 64 - bit of course
* I believe the Graphics card is a 860M (2GB of Video RAM)
I ran fallout 4 during the free weekend with no issues but im not so sure if Skyrim will be the same. Thank you!

It will probably run ok on low, maybe medium.

The system specs for Fallout 4 are a little bit higher than for the Special Edition. So if you can run that game, you should be able to run this one as well.

I'm running it on a potato (10 year-old CPU, 4GB DDR2 RAM, GTX 750Ti) and barring the occasional stutter, it runs reasonably well. With your specs, you should be good to go.

I have the exact same system, and it runs more than fine. Unmodded you can play on the "high" settings with no to little FPS issues. If you get into mods the ultra HD stuff will start to tank it however.

if you can run fallout 4 then yes you can run this game, I have a horrible PC and I can run Skryim with no fps lag on the lowest setting. I can play at high with fps lag so I just play at low for now :)
