There are workarounds like this one, but this one causes SW to flip out at random intervals and display the menu bar where the part window normally is...Just a word of warning.
A better fix is to disable display scaling:

Only do this if you keep a magnifying glass by your laptop at all times. ;)

All,

I have traded notes with SolidWorks on this very issue.

The current EDU package is based off SP 2.1. SolidWorks is working on getting SP5 (the service pack that's certified to work with Win 10) to the students. There's some significant testing, however, that has to occur before they can move forward.

Net: my guess is that, at some point, we'll either find, or be told, that there is an update available on their SW site. In the meantime, you're on your own...

Any suggestion that SP 5 will handle high DPI displays? Given how common they have been on high end laptops for the last couple years, it surprises me how weak the support is.

Solidworks 2015-16 Student Edition should work on windows 10 as long as when you are installing you choose service pack 5

Have you heard anything else about the education edition getting SP5?
