AutoCAD doesn't boot on my PC Windows 10

I have just installated AutoCAD 2011 on my PC which is running Windows 10. When I try to boot it, I see the attached windows, then never more. What can I do to boot it?

P.S. I need AutoCAD 2011 because in our school we use it and I can't use AutoCAD 2017, 2018, 2019 or 2020. I must use it.

Thanks.

There is no way to license 2011 today unless your school is taking care of it for you somehow by giving you a license to use.

And it is 2019 if I may be so bold to say: why aren't you looking up on the web for a fix, perhaps like this https://windowsreport.com/autocad-not-working-windows-10/

Hi,

 

>> I need AutoCAD 2011 because in our school we use it

Sorry to say, but for that school it is ridiculous to train software that is not available any more on the market for ages (10 years, 10 releases). It's like learning how to work with stone age tools nowadays, even if you know how to work with that you can't do your job after your school when you need to work with current releases.

 

If you paid for that ... get your money back, it's not worth a cent.

 

Other option ... install the current release (I guess you get a education license) and work with that. You can always save down to an older dwg-format. If you have questions then ask the teacher for how to do that "with current tools". I hope he does not say "I don't know".
