Best windows operating system for Revit/Autocad/3ds Max on 2.8GHz,4GB Pro

From the reviews I've read Autocad seems to have some trouble running on Windows 7. Has anyone been able to run Revit/3ds Max on Windows 7 (It's not listed as a compatible system...)
Would it be better to purchase Vista or XP instead?
also-I'm not sure if I should go with the 64 bit or 32 bit operating system.
Ugh...I'm lost! Thank you for your help!

I am going through the same problem with v9 and 2008. I am running a MacPro workstation with bootcamp to Vista. I was using v9 fine until I upgraded to 2008 and then the licensing issues happened when switching between Mac/PC. I also upgraded to Leopard so I don't know who is to blame. I want to know if Autdesk changed the licensing technology or if the newer bootcamp in Leopard is the problem. Now I'm wishing I didn't get the Mac thinking I could run core apps like 3DSMax.

    Hi Divyanshu,
    Windows operating system would be best for the practice purpose for installing SAP EP and ABAP.

  • HT5639 Are there inherent security risks for installing windows operating systems on a mac?

    Just wondering if I use "bootcamp" and install Windows operating system and find out one of the main reasons I switched to a Mac is because of security issues. I also need to know if I can operate the Mac version of "Microsoft Office" without installing the Windows Operating System.
    Thanks tech savvy people!

    Windows concerns are in Windows, OS X in OS X. They do not co-exist because only one system is operational at a time.
    Office 2011 is the OS X version of the suite. Look for it here.

  • Best operating system for music applications( or most popular)

    hi, gonna be buying a mac laptop.
    im not feeling leopard for coupla reasons.
    im new to all this by the way. so dont know about the diff versions of operating systems for mac........i just know tiger 10.4 was one prior.
    for music software, which op system and version is most compatible with the various music apps and vst companies etc out there. like i dont mind not using the latest versions of popular programmes like pro tools and logic and ableton.
    leopared is very specific and not backwards compatiblewith alot of software it seems.
    cheers
    like whats the most popular system in use by music production culture, not necessarily professionals, just hobbyists.
    like if you have service pack 2 XP, i know youre good to go. simple as that.
    whats the mac equivalent?

    If you have tiger, stay with it, its solid. There is no reason to use leo at the moment!
    There is nothing you cannot do with tiger concerning audio.
    When its time to upgrade, you can do, but who knows.....
    Cheers Eddie
    What FUD. Seriously. Plenty of people on this board are running leopard with no problem. My leopard is solid, and it runs logic and reason.
    Leopard worked fine on my G5.
    As for the comment about leopard not being able to run tiger....well, that's kinda mind blowing.

    It all depends on what your useage of Windows will be, for playing games install it in BootCamp, for word processing, spreadsheets, email. browsing etc a virtual Machne will be fine.

    I've stopped and started the service, and also have performed cold reboots.
    Nothing seems to have helped the situation.

  • HT1678 How do I synch/download photos from my iPod classic to my computer, which has a Windows operating system?  Thanks.

    I am trying to download photos from my iPod to either an external hard drive or my computer, which has a Windows operating system. The iPod should function like an external hard drive, right?  My photo files/computer/hard drive were damaged. Can I put my photos on the iCloud, and then save on external drive?  Not sure how to o this either.  I lost a few years of baby photos. Thanks for any help!

    iTunes syncing to iPods (that are not iPod touch) mostly goes one way, from computer to iPod.  For photos, at the time you synced the photos to the iPod, there is a setting that you needed to have enabled in iTunes if you later want to recover them from the iPod.  This setting is on the iPod's Photos tab in iTunes (where you set up photo syncing).  There is a checkbox for Include full-resolution photos.
    IF that checkbox was checked, you can Enable disk use on the iPod's Summary tab, and find the full-res photo files in the Photos folder on the iPod.  Otherwise (if setting not checked), when iTunes syncs the photos to the iPod, iTunes converts the images to a very low-resolution version that is optimized to fit the small iPod screen and stores the image data in a single database file (to save storage space).  There may be third-party software that can extract separate photos from that database file, but the resulting photos will look bad blown up to computer screen size.

  • Can i back up my mac and windows operating system on the one hard drive?

    Hello everyone, i use a 4TB external hard drive to back up my imac. I recently installed Parallels and Windows 8.1 so I can run a PMS for my business. Now that i have installed Parallels and windows 8.1 on the mac can i format the drive so it will back up the mac and the windows operating system? Thanks!

    If you want to back up with Time Machine, you need a GUID partition table and an HFS (Mac OS X) partition. If you can also create a Windows partition without destroying the partition table, then you can use the same drive for both systems. I can't give you specific instructions for Windows.

  • VM Fusion and windows operating systems on mac

    I have VM Fusion on my mac book pro in annticipation of using windows xp or windows 7 on my macbook.  Do I need to need to purchase the operating system for windows and the application, such as MS office?

    Virtualization software provides you with virtual hardware only.  You still need to provide your own OS and applications to run on that OS.  Not all OSes cost money (Linux is a good example of a free OS).  Depending upon your OS choice, you may or may not need to pay money to get the applications you wish to run there.
    In general Microsoft products are not free, but you can generally get a 90-180 day evaluation copy for "free".  That copy is generally good for a certain amount of time, then it stops working and you need to pay them for a license to keep using it.
