Required Windows OS for AutoCAD Design suite

My system checks all system reqmt. boxes except the OS, and it is 64 bit. I am a single user. But it has Win7 Home Premium OS (not listed) Will my OS work for basic 3D part modeling 2D drawings, and assy'? If not, do you know the reason, or what doesn't work on it?

i assume you mean Product Design Suite and not Autocad Design suite 2 completely different suites

since your posting in the Inventor Forum the Autocad Design Suite doesn't come with Inventor

OS requirements for Product Design Suite 2015

 

32-Bit OS: Microsoft® Windows® 7 (SP1) Home Premium, Professional, Ultimate, Enterprise¹

64-bit OS: Microsoft® Windows® 7 (SP1) Home Premium, Professional, Ultimate, Enterprise Microsoft® Windows® 8.1 Pro, Enterprise ¹ Exceptions: Autodesk® 3ds Max® Design, Autodesk® Navisworks® Manage, Autodesk Navisworks® Simulate, and Autodesk® ReCap™ are not supported on a 32-bit operating system.

kUDOS FOR iDENTIFYING THE ANSWER.
Thanks, although I am now confused as to how the 3D sfwe in Product Design
differs from Inventor. I don't find the website presentations of their
products all that helpful.
I suppose its a stripped down version.

It seems you are confusing AutoCAD and Inventor in this thread?  These are two different Autodesk products.

 

Is this a student license?

The student license in fully functional Inventor Professional - only the terms of use are different.

Ah, Inventor LT  is limited as follows

No assemblies (but can do multi-body which is sort of like assemblies, without motion).

No sheet metal.

and maybe a couple of other things.

I was confused with the multiple offers and titles. I have spent a good
part of the day reading their website. I am getting an Inventor LT suite
which includes Inventor LT and Autocad LT.
For this my current system is all good. Tnx for your support.

I certainly need to build/ refine parts in an assembly mode, but for this
effort I'm OK with no motion capabilities, though it would have been an
advantage. I will be repositioning the individual references to view them
in various relative positions. Also,I have a physical prototype I'll be
maintaining that covers this need.

I am grateful that you have followed up w/ me, so I'll share that I
started designing rather complex automated equip. w/ Texas Inst. in the
early 70's when nobody had even heard of CAD, and that kind of forces one
to develop their own visualization capabilities, and in my case,
communicate with draftsmen to put it all down in 2D.

I never got a lot of time in using the various CAD programs different
employers used due to time spent managing others, and the recurring
training required to simply use these tools,(and all the other sfwe tools
as well). I haven't been around Autocad but once in the early 90's; mostly
MacCAD, and ProE since then.
Its incredible what all these breeds of sfwe can accomplish today, if you
can afford them.

Many thanks for giving me these limitations. Seems the site will only allow
me to give you one kuddo.
