Win10 networking with Win7 FSX

This was a multiple application test for me, so I thought I'd put it here in general items and report my findings.

The setup:

See my signature for overall stuff, but here is what I did:

Win7 64-bit workstation:

--FSX Acceleration with original FSX box running on Win7 64-bit PC.

--Default Cessna and PMDG NGX and 777 tested.

--Default Scenery.

--NO other flight related programs running on this box, all running from below laptop.

--Network-connected Laptop running 64-Bit Windows 10 home

apps running from laptop:

----Active Sky Next

---FS Commander (Latest edition)

----WideFS (for above connection, for FSC)

In the above configuration, with the laptop being "upgraded" to win10 64-bit, I have NO issues with any of the above 3rd party plugin apps running. Weather is correctly depicted, FSC moving maps and GPS works, and no issues.

Now, of course, the next step would be upgrading the MAIN PC with FSX on it, but, I am not that brave yet. lol  Any thoughts from anyone else?
