i just bought fsx and i have a 2010 era windows 7 machine should i reformat to xp?

I have heard that fsx might perform better in XP 64 bit, is this true? Since i was gonna reformat anyway i thought xp might be a less buggy and better performing platform.

FSX runs fine on Windows 7 x64.

Stay with windows 7 64bit. Microsoft does not support xp any more, and the performance between the two platforms is the same with regards to fsx.

Stay on Windows 7, but do place a copy of the W7 64Bit UIAutomationCore.dll in your FSX folder if you haven't.

 

I usually also place it in the SYSWOW64 and System32 folder too.
