Can't reinstall on fresh windows 7, after the drive died and was replaced.

Why are you people forcing users to upgrade their computers?

Is Microsoft paying you? You want me to go buy another PC with windows 10/11 to get back my files? 

It was bad enough that everytime I started the program, annoying messages popped up at every start. 

If I can't re-install on my computer, I'm ditching Fusion and going back to SolidWorks 2020 from work. 

This type of scumbag moves only shows corporate greed. It was just a matter of time. Like the dead "Sketchup".

I'm truly sorry that you feel that way. The fact of the matter is, we are not able to support builds on operating systems that aren't even supported by the creators (Microsoft/Apple). When those platforms announce "end of life" on those systems, it's only a matter of time before Fusion will stop working on those platforms. It's nothing personal or "greedy", it's just a matter of practicality. Win7 was EOL almost 2 years ago

It was working fine for 2 years? What feature does windows 10 and 11 have that is lacking in 7?

No sir. I have a lot of programs that are true and tested to run flawlessly on win7x64. 

Where on your site can I go and get my files and download them to my own computer?

It was (and this is the truth) pure luck that it worked as long as it did, and also the reason you've been getting "annoying pop-ups" in Fusion for a while now.

You don't seem to get it! 

Your aim should be to have your software running on as many platforms as possible. 

It's not your business to dictate to the users and force them to upgrade their machines or OS. 

There are more than 200 Million win7 users around the world. None will be your customer! Shoot yourself in the foot syndrome when a company thinks they are untouchable and can't fail. 

The fact that you are not able to list a feature that win7 didn't have for your software to work, tells the story.

Yes, Microsoft pays companies like yours to force users switch. Apple does that all the time. 

Greed has many faces. All ugly. 

You'll learn that when you grow older and wiser.
