Hi All,
I have installed soldiworks before, but new laptop upgraded from windows 7 straight to 10 (was original windows 8 when bought)
Solid works wont install as its claiming windows is windows 8!
Any ideas from anyone?
Attached is solid works fail and screen dump of windows 10
You have a 32 bit system, solidworks 2015 onward needs 64bit system i think
You need to install Windows 10 x64 bit. SolidWorks 2014 was the last version to support an x32 bit OS.

I would also bump up the RAM on your system to 8 gigs minimum if possible.
Hi Dan,
You're not the first to notice this. In this thread here I have OS windows 10 pro 32bit x64 processor you'll notice the dialogue box claims the OS system is "Windows 8". But once again, the other thing in common is trying to install SolidWorks on a 32-bit computer.......
Dave.
