Compatibility of AutoCAD LT 2013 with Windows 11

[desktopsupport_lote]

We are currently using AutoCAD LT 2013 on systems running Windows 10. However, due to the upcoming End of Support (EOD) for Windows 10, we are in the process of upgrading our systems to Windows 11.

We want to confirm whether AutoCAD LT 2013 is compatible with Windows 11 and if it will function properly after the upgrade. The software is already installed on the Windows 10 PC, and we plan to perform an in-place upgrade to Windows 11 without removing existing applications.

Just test this on your own. Clone the hard drive then do the upgrade and if it doesn’t work deploy the clone image to restore back to the way it was

@desktopsupport_lote No LT 2013 is not supported on Windows 11.

See the following link

Windows 11 compatibility and support for Autodesk products

I can confirm through personally trying that AutoCAD LT 2016 does not work in Windows 11, so LT 2013 will not since it is an older build

Ii saw something today that said Microsoft is allowing a one year extension for free support for Windows 10. That should give you plenty of time to upgrade your AutoCAD.

Hi, we have almost upgraded all our Windows 10 devices to Windows 11. Method is in-place upgrade. All  devices  since January have come with Windows 11 only.

Most common version is AutoCAD Mechanical 2023, AutoCAD 2023, AutoCAD LT 2023.  Total number of devices is enough if there was some show stopper.

From the provided link I can found the line:

Windows 11 is compatible with Autodesk products version 2023 or above, except for Autodesk CFD 2023 & 2024.

Yes, AutoCAD LT 2023 is officially supported. 

@h_s_walker Please can you tell me more why AutoCAD LT 2026 doesn't work in your Windows 11 device.

@jorma_heikkuri You are citing 2023 year versions.

The topic of this discussion is the 2013 version, aka 10-years older.

2023 << you

2013 <<<<<<<<< literally everyone else.
