The release years between 2010 and 2015 were a pivotal transition period for SolidWorks. In 2010, SolidWorks supported 32-bit and 64-bit versions of Windows 7 and Windows Vista. However, starting with the 2015 release, Dassault Systèmes began to phase out support for 32-bit operating systems for the core CAD software.
