Hello
I just updated the OS of my PC (switch from windows 8.0 Pro to windows 8.1 Pro). The goal is to be able to install SOLIDWORKS soon (windows 8.0 not supported).
My problem is that since the switch to Windows 8.1, INVENTOR 2010 no longer works:
I can't find anything on the NET to help me run the "DAMN" INVENTOR 2010.
Oddly, the VAULT 2010 & Autocad 2010 works.
Anyone have an idea?
Hello
Not compatible a priori, see https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_10-files/inventor-2010-compatabilty-with-windows-10/38f3ede5-9ec4-43b2-a678-4f44f948eca5
Try it anyway in windows 7 compatibility mode at any chance.
Kind regards
Take care to unplug your pc properly, put away the wires with rislans, open the window, (it saves a pane) and throw the tower with all your might. It doesn't work any better, but it relieves!!! :)
Good luck

It's clear that it's a bit annoying, it's either the time of the drawing board or the only risks of compatibility were between Rotring and Staedtler.....
Seriously: what if you do the right on the software
-Compatibility
-Run program in compatibility mode for:-Win 8.0???
it doesn't work???
@G. Sloubi 1: I thought about throwing away this "f.... " of PC, moreover just seeing the Autocad & Inventor icon gives me buttons (antibiotics are not automatic, but there I think it's necessary !!), and as the icing on the cake Windows 8 and 8.1 I hate (it's this version that no longer has a start button at the bottom left !!!)
Yes, I tested in compatibility mode but nothing helps.
Already under windows 8.0 it "messed up" more than it worked ....
My colleagues are on WiNDOWS XP PRO (it works well) but this is beyond my strengths..... and then there is no more XP PRO PC available!!!!
You say you want to put a solidworks later. What if you went back to a win 7 with Solid 12 SP5 and Inventor 10??? that wouldn't do???
I agree with you, everything that works at the top, we hurry to make an "Update" so that it doesn't work....

It's clearly a compatibility problem and it's already good that it "works" on Windows 8.
I don't know if Inventor supports running on a virtual machine but maybe to test.
Kind regards
FYI, for the start menu button in Windows 8: http://www.pcastuces.com/pratique/astuces/3588.htm
In fact it's a windows7 that I would have needed !!!!
Fuck!!!!
Windows 7 which is no longer maintained ....
Not found for Inventor 2010 too bad because for Inventor 2011 there is https://www.aplicit.com/inventor-2011-service-pack-1-2-et-hotfix/
@d.Roger, I think I'm cursed!!!!!
Thanks for the info.
Hello
Windows 8.1 will not be supported for very long: https://support.microsoft.com/fr-fr/help/13853/windows-lifecycle-fact-sheet
In fact, Microsoft wants us to migrate to W10
@Mad, I tested..... nothing has changed.
Thank you anyway.
I had an email from an AUTODESK Application Engineer: it's done with my INVENTOR 2010 & WINDOWS 8.1 version.......
Well I want to say: your vacation starts earlier:)
Hello
A Windows upgrade for Solidworks, a Windows version for Inventor, that's 2 PCs!!!
Kind regards
Hello
Maybe a little test to do:
3. Install .NET Framework 3.5
When you install Windows 8, version 4.5 of the .NET Framework is installed by default. However, older applications often require an earlier version of the .NET Framework. If you get an error message related to .NET Framework, open the Control Panel, click Programs, and choose the "Enable or Disable Windows Features" option.
Windows then displays a list of the various components that you can turn on or off. One of the items on the list is the .NET Framework 3.5, which also includes .NET 3.0 and 2.0. It is likely that installing this component will correct the issue you are experiencing.
And:
9. Provide the app with additional permissions
Some legacy applications (especially those written for Windows XP) fail to run due to inadequate permissions. Here too, the Program Compatibility Troubleshooter can help.
On the "What problems do you notice?" screen, choose the option for programs that require additional permissions. Alternatively, you can also try right-clicking on the application and choosing the "Run as administrator" option (assuming you have administrator rights).
Kind regards

test done.... but it doesn't work!!!
