solidworks on windows 7
(OP)
I am trying hard to buy a laptop, on which I want to install SW2006. The problem , as I understand it, is new systems come with Windows7 64 bit OS. Can anyone assure me 32 bit software will run on this platform(64 bit OS). Read a lot with opinions on both sides. Also read about compatability mode(?) for Win7, but tech guy at store said not all Win7 OS come with this capability? Really need laptop and SW2006.
Any thought would be appreciated.

If this is going to work you will need Windows 7 Premium version to set 32-bit compatibility mode.

This doesn't mean they all don't "work" but if you asked any windows tech they would advise against it.
For windows 7 you need SW2010 or just get a free downgrade to XP as suggested by previous posts.

The graphics response is very slow for a program like SW.
