PyCharm installed on Windows 7 with limited/no administrative rights
Answered
I will have PyCharm Community Edition installed on a workstation with Windows 7 with limited/no administrative rights.
I have three questions:
1. What are the requirements to obtain platform updates?
2. What are the requirements to install plugins for PyCharm installed on Windows 7 with limited/no administrative rights?
3. Which registers changes are made during installation?

Hello,
1. The installation wizard will suggest installing Pycharm in User Home. For example, C:\Users\anna.morozova\AppData\Roaming\JetBrains\PyCharm Community Edition 171.3566.25. You don't need administrative rights for Pycharm update if it was installed in User Home.
2. The requirements are to have available space in a place where configs and settings are stored (C:\Users\anna.morozova\.PyCharmCE2017.1, for example). 1GB should be enough.
3. It's standard; for example:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\JetBrains\PyCharm Community Edition\171.3566.25
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\PyCharm Community Edition 171.3566.25
Thank Anna for our answer. I appreciate it.
