Updating to windows 10 from windows 7

[Anonymous]

• Do I need to do anything with my autodesk licenses for infrastructure suite premium before i update from windows 7 to windows 10?

You may face incompatability issues with instllation of the suite since none list windows 10 as a system requirements.

However , depending on your version, the newest versions are compatible with windows 8.1 so there's a likelihood they will install fine.

Ultimately what version is your suite?

Are you sure:

(might want to find out the version first)

You shouldn't have any licensing issues. I have seen over the last couple of years where the Video Card driver needs to be reviewed. Since you're changing OS's.

You might also need to do a "Reinstall" on some products if you have an issue ... at times some Autodesk required files get overwritten too when updating from W7 to W10

I did check the requirements and the newest ones list windows 8.1 as working.

According to Microsoft: 'Most apps (and other programs, like games or utilities) that were created for earlier versions of Windows will work in the most recent version of Windows 10, but some older ones might run poorly or not at all.' 

Hence why I said likely and not certainly.

As you said it depends on the version.

Don't forget to recommend the FixIT tool....  😉

Collections still show as Suites sometimes in their Account Portal. So while their Infrastructure Design Suite might be the AEC collection they will still see the IDSP.  Which would be good on W10 ... 

@Anonymous  What year software are you using so we can be 100% (and Certain vs likely)

Well played 😆

You have to make mistakes to learn and get better.

You are a fountain of knowledge @mdavis22569.
