System Requirements

Note:

  • Windows Home Edition is not supported.
  • We recommend that you not run Solid Edge on Server operating systems.
  • Solid Edge stops certifying new releases against an operating system shortly after Microsoft drops mainstream support for it. Microsoft dropped mainstream support for Windows 7 in January 2015. Microsoft dropped mainstream support for Windows 8.1 in January 2018. As a result, Solid Edge no longer installs on Windows 7 or Windows 8.1.
