Just a reminder, Windows 10 Home and Windows To Go editions are not supported operating systems for SOLIDWORKS.
Although some Windows 10 editions are supported for SOLIDWORKS 2016 and SOLIDWORKS 2015 SP5, they should not be installed on Windows 10 Home or Windows To Go. So far, attempted SOLIDWORKS installations on Windows 10 Home machines do not function and users do not receive any warnings prior to the install.
For a more detailed look at hardware, operating systems and Microsoft products that are compatible with your version of SOLIDWORKS, check out our SOLIDWORKS Hardware & System Requirements compatibility charts.
