BOA2 is compatible with computers running Windows 7. 8.1 or 10 operating systems.
PC Security settings and the Network Interface should be configured for the BOA. You
must have Administrator Privileges to perform the steps below.
Note: The paths to some tools depend on the Windows configuration and appearance
settings. The Control panel can display by “Categories” or “Icons”. Some items may
appear in the left or the right pane in menus.
A: System Performance
This will increase the performance of your PC in general, and will make the BOA client
application perform better. However, this turns off some advanced visual effects. The
application will work incorrectly if you do not perform these steps.
