Installing AutoCAD 2000 on Windows 7, Windows 8 and Windows 10 Posted on May 1, 2015 by simonbooth Most current AutoCAD 2000 users are very used to the software package and cannot do without it.
Information to help you load and run AutoCAD 2000 on your Windows 7 (64bit) system. I had to upgrade from Windows 7 Home edition to Windows & professional ($90.00) Then I downloded Windows virtual PC and Windows XP Mode (free download). The Windows XP Mode runs in the background (in its own window). I loaded AutoCAD 2000 Architectural Desktop from my software CD. As I was doing this I had to go to the program compatibility (start-programs-accessories-program compatibility - pick 'from C D drive') I changed the compatibility to windows 98/ me. I was glad to have found this so I don't have to spend $1000 to $5000 to upgrade AitoCAD. Also I have a driver that lets me run my HP 750c+ plotter on Windows 7 - 64bit if you need that.
