AutoCAD 2013 on Windows 10?

[Anonymous]

Hello it's just a quick question, I wish to know if my perpetual license of AutoCAD2013 should still run on windows 10 for an installation in the next month probably. 

I can't find the support page, I suspect if 2013 is still supported but perhaps not for too long.

If it's not supported anymore, to you think it will it be possible to transfer the license anyway and run it on Windows 10?

If it's too buggy then I'll ask for 2019 simply, we have to try. (unless it's literally impossible)

Thanks

Sadly not supported for Windows 10... see link below.

Ok that settles it then.

For the next revisions of Autocad, am I going to be able to save my settings and custom configuration easily if there is a new revision automatically installed each year?

In the past the setting of import and export were not compatible between the different revisions.

For instance my profile and custom keys, shortcuts, custom icon bars?

All this, is it going to follow automatically at each updates?

There is a migration tool for most of this... It worked well for me when I upgraded from 2016 to 2017, but I had an issue when I tried migrating settings from 2017 to 2018, so I had to spend a couple hours setting things up manually.

That's what I feared sborello, well, I will have to consider that for granted from now on, half a day per year from now on to set things up with the new revision. I'll force formation too, formation people will work from now on.

Perhaps it's this kind of intelligence that is giving us more job, we are ok in public services.. but for a private company.. eeeww.  Goodbye to a nice chuck of profit...

For the sake of adding useful information here, I was informed of the existence of the Longbow Converter to install my old version of AutoCAD 2013 on windows 10.

I am trying to organize an operation to test it and give this old boy another 5 years!

Hooray!

UPDATE: 2019-06-05 We tried to install a couple of old versions of Autocad on Windows 10 and apparently it's possible to install them and run them without Longbow. I don't know more then that right now but it appears our perpetual licenses will be good for a couple more months / years.
