ACAD compatibility 2005 with Windows 10

[Anonymous]

AutoCAD 2005 does everything I need - Have been using it for over 10 years - I can run it on Window XP or 7 - Can ACAD 2005 be made to run on Windows 10 ? - Being a bit of a Luddite I would appreciate step-by-step instructions -

2005 does not have windows 10 support. You may get it to work and you may not. What is guaranteed though is that at some unforeseen time it will quit working and you probably won't be able to get it working again. It could be today or in a year.

you can also search this forum you are not the 1st person to ask this

2005 was not made for windows 10 & Autodesk will never make it compatible but people have gotten it work

A problem I had using old Autocad with new Windows was I can draw but cannot print, and old Autocad didn't have print to PDF neither so it was useless.

Hola que tal, si es posible hacer correr autocad 2005 en windows 10, sin emargo depende del tipo de compiación del win 10, tengo un equipo dell con win10 64  y logre instalar y correr perfectamente el autovad 2005 de 32 bits, hace dos años que oo instale y funciona bien.

sin embargo en una acer tambien con win 10 64, no he podido instalar el autocad 2005 con una compilacion diferente de windows 10.

un amigo me decia instalar una maquina virtual, sin embargo a mi gusto, ocupan muchos recursos del equipo.

aun sigo intentando en mis ratos libres, instalar autocad 2005 ya que lo ocupo mucho y no tiene tanta herramienta sin uso como las versiones nuevas; si lo logro lo posteo aqui.

Saludos.

tamagochy3 Autodesk ended automatic reauthorizing of 2010 and older software as of August 31 2019, read all about it here https://knowledge.autodesk.com/support/autocad/learn-explore/caas/simplecontent/content/previous-ver...

That old software is now dead for new installations.
