Operating System Requirements
and Information

• Windows 10 Enterprise or Professional (64-bit only) version 1809 or later
• Internet Explorer 11 (Internet Explorer is not required to be the default browser)
• Microsoft Office Professional 2016, Microsoft Office 2019, or Microsoft Office 365 Business

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. Due to limited support from Microsoft and graphics card vendors for older operating systems, the installation of Solid Edge on Windows 7 or Windows 8.1 is not recommended. Solid Edge will install and run on these operating systems, but issues determined to be caused by an incompatibility between Solid Edge and an end-of-life operating system may not be fixed. Due to the potential for critical issues on these older operating systems, Solid Edge 2021 could be the last Solid Edge release that installs on Windows 7 or Windows 8.1.
