Just trying to make sure everyone is aware that SW13 is not just "not supported", it will not even be installable on XP systems.

SolidWorks 2013 will NOT install on computers running Windows XP

Hi Everyone,

Seems there is still some confusion over the dropping of Windows XP support for SolidWorks 2013 and beyond. It isn't a matter of simply not supporting XP, it is a fact that SolidWorks 2013 will not even install on a computer running Windows XP.

Please pass this message along to your members, or to anyone else (clients, etc.) that might need to know.

CBL,

Unless you are a SolidWorks User Group leader, people will not be able to see the thread you linked to.

I think there is another thread on the subject on the forum.

Cheers,

OK, thanks Anna. I forgot it was a User Group Leaders thread ... but the quoted statement should suffice for now.
