Solidworks 2024 Sp5. I'm wondering if it's worth my time to try to get this to work or go to sw 2021 sp1, which i hesitate to do because sp1. Starting with 2024 all future versions of solidworks allows you to save files in the versions of the two most recent editions.

A clean installation is a safe and reliable way of installing solidworks and also frees up storage space on your hard drive. For example i’m running both siemens nx, version 1980 and solidworks versions up to 2022 on the same hardware at work.
