Hi
I have recently started using Creo Parametric 2.0 as part of my University Coursework and I have a question about how I can install it on my personal computer to be able to work on my coursework at home.
My current computer is a MacBook Pro and I am aware that Creo is not compatible with OS X so I have been investigating running windows via boot camp. My issue is that I am not sure whether Creo would run on Windows if I were to purchase it and install it. The only version of windows that Microsoft still sells is Windows 10 and from what I can see there is a bit of ambiguity as to whether Creo will run on it. Looking through the different PTC webpages, I have came across some pages that states that Creo is compatible with Windows 10, and others that say it isn't.
This page lists Vista-Windows 8.1 as being compatible: PTC Creo College/University Download | PTC
This page lists Windows 7-Windows 8.1 as being compatible: http://www.ptc.com/~/media/Files/PDFs/CAD/ptc-creo-hardware-notes.ashx?la=en
This page lists Windows XP, Windows 7-Windows 10 as being compatible: http://support.ptc.com/WCMS/files/135225/en/creo2_hw_notes.pdf
This page lists Windows 7- Windows 10 as being compatible: http://support.ptc.com/WCMS/files/161492/en/creo3_hw_notes.pdf
Since a Windows 10 Pro 64bit license is quite expensive, I would like to know whether or not Creo will work or not before I buy it.
Any help on this would be really appreciated!
On a side note, with the academic download of Creo, is it version 2.0 or 3.0?
Many thanks
