SOLIDWORKS cannot run directly on macOS, so first you will need to install Windows on your Mac using an application such as Boot Camp or Parallels.

There are other considerations such as graphics performance and the applications you are using SOLIDWORKS for.

Watch the video above for a guide to this, alternatively, visit the original Solid Solutions article here.

Im wondering if the speed will be comparable if I help my friend switch over from from using solidworks on windows, over to a VM running windows on a more powerful ubuntu machine.

SolidWorks in Windows 10, Dual-core CPU, low-end GPU, built 2008, SSD.

A VM running Windows So he would still be using Solidworks on Windows.

Why do you or buddy want to switch to Ubuntu Why do you compare different laptops You can install Windows or Ubuntu on either of them.

Ubuntu 14.04 is outdated too, I would definitely start with a clean install of Ubuntu 16.04.

Its kind of a pain to transfer files back and forth between laptops.

Ill paste this into my original message too, incase others are wondering.

I figured 14.04 might run a bit more reliable on 2008 machine, no Continue this thread level 1 2 points 2 years ago I run Solidworks 2017 in a VM using VMware Workstation, my host OS in openSUSE.

Im using a 3rd gen I7 from 2003 with 32 MB RAM and a 950 Nvidia card running a 4k monitor.

I turned all the bells and whistles in Windows 10 off and have no antivirus or other similar programs running to enhance performance of the VM.

VMware has some graphics acceleration so its the best hypervisor for heavy graphics applications.

Solidworks runs well and is quiet usable but not like it does on a dedicated computer.

I havent tried it with large assemblies, but i just did a complete trailer with wiring and electrical and it was usable.

Hope this helps. level 2 Original Poster 1 point 2 years ago Very helpful thanks.

Do you know how well the VMware can use the GPU Or if there is someway i could check compatibility perfomance with my GPU BTW, my GPU: quadro fx 3700m I guess the only other question would be how well VMware runs on ubuntu.

I dont know how well openSUSE works for typical browsing streaming for ex-windows users and how easy it would be to set up.
