Hello,
I recently purchased a laptop in order to be more mobile with my business endeavors. I have Autodesk Inventor 2013 Professional which I use for 3D parametric modeling. Problem is the new laptop has Windows 8 which is not a compatible OS for Inventor 2013. The solution I'm pondering is purchasing VMware Workstation 9, apparently this version is able to handle 3D graphics on a virtual machine (as opposed to using Hyper-V which apparently does not support 3D graphics in the guest OS).
Before I make this purchase I would like to know positively that this version of VMware Workstation will work nicely with Autodesk Inventor 2013 - functionality is imperative. If anyone has any feedback regarding this I would greatly appreciate it. A few specs are listed below. Thanks!
Laptop:
HP Pavilion g6, processor - AMD A8-4500 APU, graphics - AMD Radeon HD 7640G
Native OS:
Windows 8
Virtual machine I would like to set up:
Windows 7 Pro running Inventor 2013 Pro
