SolidWorks EDU products 2010-2011 academic year and Microsoft® Windows 7 operating system.
There have been inquiries about the compatibility between SolidWorks EDU products and Windows 7, so below are the clarifications: ¨ SolidWorks EDU products 2010-2011 academic year (Education Edition, Student Edition, and Student Design Kit) will officially support the Microsoft® Windows 7 operating system. This new release is planned in the spring of 2010. ¨ SolidWorks EDU products 2009-2010 are officially supported on Windows XP 32 and 64 bit and Vista 32 and 64 bit . While the SolidWorks EDU products 2009-2010 installation is not prevented on Windows 7, the products are not officially supported. This means that they have not been fully validated by QA and therefore the full scope of potential issues is not known. There will not be any SolidWorks product updates available for any Windows 7 specific issues. For an optimal experience with the SolidWorks EDU products 2009-2010, it is recommended that a user install on Windows XP or Vista.
Below is some general information of running SolidWorks EDU products 2009-2010 on Windows 7.
¨ Since the graphics drivers included with Windows 7 do not support accelerated OpenGL, many SolidWorks features are not available. Running SolidWorks on Windows 7 requires a supported graphics driver for RealView graphics. ¨ Running the 64-bit version of SolidWorks on the 64-bit version of Windows 7 requires Microsoft Office 2007 for full support of tables. ¨ The 64-bit version of SolidWorks on the 64-bit version of Windows 7 does not display tables for SolidWorks files containing Microsoft Office 2003 components. ¨ Certain SolidWorks dialogs may have missing information or buttons ¨ Running SolidWorks in Windows 7 Compatibility Mode might help with some stability issues
Note: Running SolidWorks in Windows 7 Compatibility Mode: ¨ Right mouse click on the SLDWORKS.exe file in the installation folder ¨ Choose the Compatibility Tab and select “Run this program in compatibility mode for:” Windows Vista or XP |
