Windows 10 for use with 2017-2019 productsĬADD does not recommend the use of Windows Vista or Windows XP.Windows 7 Professional for 2013-2016 Autodesk products.
For more information on the differences between these operating systems, see the section in the Appendix called “32-bit vs.
Typically, the extra cost between operating systems is minimal however, one issue you may encounter, mostly with Windows 8/8.1, is finding hardware drivers that work with the latest operating system. Windows 10 still offers a 32-bit version install, but Autodesk does not support its products on this platform. With Microsoft ending support for Windows XP and since 64-bit is now the norm, Autodesk is slowly phasing out support for 32-bit software. However, most workstation-class computers can no longer be purchased with a 32-bit operating system. For 2D drafting and design, 32-bit may be sufficient. These operating systems come in 32-bit or 64-bit versions.
Windows 7 64 bit (Professional or Ultimate).Windows 8/8.1 64-bit (Professional or Enterprise).Note: Many of the products listed here contain robust 3D modeling tools, but these recommendations are geared towards those who don’t normally use these features. This includes lines, polylines, blocks, text, dimensions, etc. The recommendations shown here are geared toward those using AutoCAD or an AutoCAD-based product primarily for two-dimensional (2D) drafting and design. Media & Entertainment Included Software.Product Design & Manufacturing Collection Included Software.They are readily available from the Autodesk website. Each product in a suite will have its own individual hard disk requirements and you must calculate the free space needed for the products from the collection you wish to install. The series of Collections that Autodesk has introduced are simply a series of individual point products and not all tied to one installer like suites are.
Prior to committing to installing a full suite of products, ensure you have the disk space required to install the software you need. For example, the Building Design Suite Ultimate 2019 requires 50GB of space just for installation. With the introduction of suites in 2012, the hard disk requirements have increased significantly, not only for installation but also for the extraction of files associated with the installation process. X¹ - Not supported on 32-bit version Windows 10 Hard Disk Requirements *** See Host application’s system requirements for 32-bit and virtualization compatibility Refer to the list of exceptions on Autodesk’s system requirements for each individual product. Not all products in the suite/collection will support virtualization.
