Ansys Mechanical shows only blank grey screen

      Hello, I am using ANSYS 2020 R2 to follow a tutorial on an online course that instructs me to double click 'Model' after attaching the 'Geometry'. The Mechanical windows opens but it only shows grey screen, meanwhile the Workbench windows show 'Starting Mechanical...' on the lower left corner. And after I close the Mechanical window, it has this error:

      Error while waiting for Mechanical initialization to complete. Either the application crashed or Workbench lost communication with it.

      Your computer doesn't meet the requirements for graphics. You need a workstation level graphics card, either Nvidia Quadro or AMD graphics. The Intel graphics are insufficient. This will usually lead to the issue you are encountering.n
