To better clarify, I purchased Solidworks 2013 for personal consulting/design work use a few years ago and it will not run natively on Windows 10. A new SW license/upgrade is out of the question as I don't do enough business to justify $4000 for a new version of Solidworks and even the $2000-$3000 during promotions is really pushing it. I also don't want to downgrade my computer as Windows 7 is quickly getting left behind and I feel like it's not a proper long term solution. Belkin usb ethernet adapter driver.
I tried for a minute to use Solidworks in Windows 10 set to Windows 7 compatibility mode and it worked perfectly and then..didn't. Intel q35 express graphics driver windows 10. It suddenly, out of nowhere, started loading very slowly and then crashed when I tried to open a file. I reformatted my computer, reinstalled, and the same thing: worked for a few days, then got slow and crashed. Has anyone successfully run an older version of Solidworks on Windows 10 using compatibility mode? Is there some patch out there that makes this work and keep working? Are there some temp files I can periodically delete to make it work?
Aug 11, 2015 Hi guys, Just a quick post about Solidworks and Windows 10. For those who want to switch their operating system: careful. If you have SW2014 (and inferior), it WILL NOT BE SUPPORTED ON W10. SW2015, however, seems to work fine. From SW website: SW2015 SP5 (release date october 2015) will be the f.

Compatibility Options For Windows 10
Barring compatibility mode, how is virtual machine performance? Anyone running a Windows 7 virtual machine on Windows 10? If I upgrade to Windows 10 Pro, I can use Hyper-V (built-in Microsoft virtualization software) to run Windows 7, but I want to make sure the performance will be good before I go that route and would like to confirm it works properly at all. Video cutter software free download. I'm actually running Solidworks 2013 on Windows 7 inside of a Parallels Virtual Machine on a Mac right now, so I figure Microsoft native virtual machines can't be worse than that. Though, honestly, the performance isn't really all that bad on the Mac VM, but Parallels seems to be trying to shift to a yearly subscription model and, again, I am trying to avoid a money suck even when there are gaps in my consulting use as at a certain point the cost of all of this software will negate my earnings to the point it's not even worth doing business at all.
If worse comes to worst, I'll just buy some used Windows 7 computer and forever and always make it my designated Solidworks computer, but I'd like to see if anyone can vouch for compatibility mode or virtual machines working first.
