Hi,

 

I currently have a computer for my business that is at a point where the software packages I am currently running for my business are just too taxing on the cpu-mem etc. I had thought about installing all my biz stuff on my fsx win7 box, but needed a way to be able to boot for running biz applications and also boot for fsx when needed. Is there anyway to do this without having 2 os's? I would like to be able to use the one os for everything but of course when booting for fsx it would be of course much leaner. With my biz, I have all sorts of stuff that loads as services etc and it is pretty heavy.

 

Thanks

Bob

My only thought is to have two separate user accounts.

 

You might ask over a SevenForums and see what the Win7 experts think.

not sure if you would be willing to spend some money, but if you were to buy a SSD drive, you could load FSX and your operating sytem on that... SSD improve FPS too... just a thought.

Hi,

 

I know that without an ssd using HD's it is recommended to have the os on one drive and fsx on the other. By putting both on the ssd, would this not affect performance or is this not really necessary with an SSD?

 

Thanks

Well i have WIN 7x64 and FSX on my SSD... i also have a 4TB HDD for everything else. Any my systems has no issues... With an SSD performance only improves. I did have FSX installed on a regular 2TB HDD along with my operating system and FSX and so on, but it didnt 'negativly' affect anything... My HDD was the lowest scoring item on my Windows Experience Index witha score of 5.4, now however with the SDD i get a 7.9(max). You do get noticable improvements from faster boot times to faster load times. if you stay with an HDD, you can keep FSX and your OS on the same drive, i would recommend thou installing FSX directly on the C drive rather than its default location. Dont know why, someone told me less errors occour and it is true i suppose. Can you post some system specs? maybe i can help you out with some tips or pointers?
