I'm doing a project for my 4th year engineering project. We have access to SolidWorks 2019 through VMWare, and are required to be compatible with that, the only issue is that it is slow as molasses. I would like to be able to purchase and install 2019, I understand 2019 is not forwards compatible with 2020 and 2021, so I cannot use those.
