Hola,

since PTC offer Home user Creo license program for personal use I am curious why doesn't support Windows Home editions as well? There is official support for Windows Pro or Entrerprise only but many users have installed Win Home on personal computers. Anyone tested Win 10 Home with Creo?

My experience with Creo 6.0 on Windows 10 Home is one big fail so users with Home Win edition are probably disqualified...

Tried different Win 10 Home computer and it works. Probably anomaly with just one computer.

Hi,

I installed Creo on Windows 10 Home edition several times for our customer. Users have never reported any problem.

I have tried all tricks including loopback ethernet card etc. but Creo won't start at all for this user. Usually it starts but crash when license is invalid.

Tested another installation for different user with Win 10 Home and passed so probably Win 10 Home will truly work even not supported by PTC.
