Hi,

 

I heard or read somewhere that Inventor 2018 works faster on Windows 10 than Windows 7. Anyone know if this is true?

Yes in general most applications run slightly faster in Windows 10 vs Windows 7

The difference is pretty small though..

Hi @Anonymous,

 

In my personal experience thus far, most programs will run a bit faster in Win 10 than Win 7, and the main reason for this as far as I know is that Win 10 uses less resources from your computer than Win 7 does for running the Operating System.

 

I think Win 10 uses like 100MB - 150MB of RAM less than Win 7 to run the OS

So on a PC with limited RAM for example the difference is easier visible than on a high spec PC, but still, its not a major difference.

 

Most people will just upgrade to Win 10 because of the extra features it has that Win 7 does not have.

 

(Ps. Last thing, Win 7 has proven itself to be a very stable OS, Win 8 on the other hand was disappointing to say the least as there was a lot of compatibility issue's with some programs like Inventor, but Win 10 is once again nice and stable like Win 7 is - Just my personal opinion )

 

Hope this helps

I've been working with both ..

 

I like 10 better. Find it stable ...

 

However, they both have the 4.7 .NET ..   and it's easier to remove / resolve in Windows 7 

 

 

If you can disable the 4.7 update, go Windows 10
