pro-e wildfire 2 e windows 7 professional: funziona???

[meteora]

Hello, everyone.
I am a pro-e wf2 user and unfortunately I have come to the point of having to change my workstation with os xp professional sp3 :frown:
I intend to always stay in the house of but, of course, I see that the new workstations are all with os windows 7 professional 32 or 64 bit..

how do I know if my pro-e version will work properly with windows 7? ? ?
Should I opt for version 32 or 64 bit?? ?
as graphics card I would opt for a 2000 or 4000 nvidia: which of the two is compatible with pro-e wf2? ?

I ask you to give me straight about it because I would not like to "push" almost 3000 euros of workstations and find myself in the condition to update the wf2 with investment out of budget..
Is there anyone who uses it quietly on windoes 7? ?

Thank you in advance.

wf2 is not certified for windows7, only by the wf4 m150 forward.

quoto, and I add that also the two graphics cards you have indicated are not certified; It could all work but it's a big jump in the dark!

Hell... then I'm really hurt!! !
but I felt that someone succeeded us although it is not "guaranteed" by ptc..

Mah, I think it's more like a commercial maneuver to move on to recent versions.
I asked the seller who gave me wf2 and you know he told me? "..no does not work with w7. you need to upgrade to creo or keep your old workstation!!"

I also know customers who installed wf2 on xp, "works"... but they have a lot of problems, if you want to risk. . .
the seller who gives you the wf2 told you the same thing that I would tell you, it is not a commercial maneuver, simply when you exit wf2 windows 7 did not exist yet, so it is difficult to certify an operating system by ptc when this still does not exist...
Unfortunately the computer world is so, wf 2 came out in January 2004, almost 10 years ago.

for once I have to give reason to a commercial
Unfortunately it is so, always keeping certified the pc ecosystem, graphics cards, operating systems, cad, pdm and various programs requires beautiful games of legs, planning and investments not indifferent! recently with the coupling windows 7 and wildfire 4 we can draw a nice sigh of relief, but we are always with the right antennas... :finger:

I don't want to argue.
but here we are not talking about the compatibility of a video game. It is one of the most important software of modeling and design that, besides, has a certain cost!

in fact no one is polemizzando, everyone is answering to what is required in the most transparent way possible, but they are also of the notice that you do not have to point your finger immediately and hit someone at all costs.
If you have to "arrabbiarti" with someone then you should do it towards microsoft that imposes the purchase of the new s.o on new machines but not to ptc, the problem arises from that, otherwise you would not be forced to change and you could keep quietly the wf2, surely less innovative but still valid.
Do you have a chance to buy a ws without s.o and mount an old xp?
If you're okay. .

That's what I'm thinking about.
I just wanted a ws to get already programmed by some without putting our hands on it..
But if it's the only way...
thanks for the interventions

honestly that a new workstation can go well with on xp I see it even less likely than wf2 that can turn on 7. maybe for you the solution is linux... put a stable debian on a new workstation should not create too many scratches and it is your right to have the wf2 for linux... or at least he was in your right.

I also remember that to take advantage of over 3gb ram it takes a 64-bit system... there was also 64-bit xp but... was still very embryonic.

 

[maxopus]

Well xp64 wasn't an embryonic so, I've had it for 6 years on two workstations and over there it still turns everything and even well and never nailed me.
is much more stable than xp32, keep in mind that the same is only the gui being based on windows 2003 servers.

Unfortunately the problem is to turn it on new machines, drivers may not be available for the latest generation peripherals.
