The processor requirements have not changed for SolidWorks 2020 from the requirement of 2019.

Moving onto the hardware requirements for SolidWorks, there are several things to keep in mind. You might not see any issue if you decide to try it out, but you still need to be aware that SolidWorks is not recommending it, which means that it might not behave as well as it would had you used a supported operating system.

You also need to know that SolidWorks will not support any Windows Home Editions. You do not need to worry about updating your Microsoft SQL to the latest version, thankfully. It also will work well with Microsoft Office 2013, 2016, and 2019. While SolidWorks works with Windows devices, you could instead use eDrawings or eDrawings Professional 2020, since they can be supported on Mac systems, like the macOS Catalina 10.15 and the macOS Mojave 10.14.Īs far as Microsoft SQL and Office go, SolidWorks is compatible with all of the recent SQLs, from SQL 2012 to SQL 2019. You will also want either the Windows Server 2019 or Windows Server 2016 to go along with that. SolidWorks 2020 requires you to have a Windows 10, 64-bit operating system.
