Installation Best Practices

Installation Location:

During the installation, SOLIDWORKS will want to install in C:\....SOLIDWORKS

INSTEAD DEFINE THE INSTALLATION LOCATION AS C:\....SOLIDWORKS 20XX

Indicating the year will make the upgrade process significantly smoother.

Custom File & Template Locations

When making custom templates or file locations, keep them in new folder locations and add them to SOLIDWORKS Using Options > System Options > File Locations. If you do not, they will be wiped on upgrades.

Ensure that your custom locations are backed up via Google Drive, DropBox, etc.
