August 1, 201510 yr It took me a hole day to upgrade to windows 10 mainly because i did not have the luxus of been giving an update from the bar. So after a lot of trial and error including a very rare ORBX TODO file error that blocked the installation i am finally here with an upgrade. Now there seems to be alot going on in background processes and so far i cant tell which to turn of but i do still have the rightclick mouse issue and the menu SLI issue with latest drivers 353.62 Also it seems like the network is somehow blocked to server ASN so i have to dig into that. About FPS its the same but it do feel very smooth panning around. Michael Moe Michael Moe
August 1, 201510 yr Moderator Why would you upgrade to w10? Currently nothing is supported, most importantly P3D is NOT supported. Just because it doesn't crash when you start it does not mean that all is ok. Obviously ASN and others will have issues and may or not work. Considering that the next update from P3D may very well not run at all in w10, imho you are just asking for trouble. Vic RIG#1 - I9 14900K MSI Pro z790 RTX 5070Ti 40" 4K Monitor 3840x2160
August 2, 201510 yr Author Interesting answers. You might be right here. Got ASN and network up and running as well Latest update shows an 10% increase in SLI configuration vs W7 but still with the known issues. Michael Moe Michael Moe
August 2, 201510 yr Moderator Don't get me wrong Michael - W10 may turn out to be a great OS but with no guarantee of compatibility from LM and/or other major developers - it might be fun to run a side by side setup so you can still fly if the w10 platform tanks in P3D, etc. Vic RIG#1 - I9 14900K MSI Pro z790 RTX 5070Ti 40" 4K Monitor 3840x2160

August 2, 201510 yr I gave up trying to migrate, at my home / simming rig... Spent a few hours trying again, but the same error log messages are always issued ( language incompatibility between my win 7 ( ENG ) and the win 10 upgrade ??? ). A totally gave up upgrading, although there was always an alternative - installing my copy of win 8, performing a clean install, and then migrating to win 10 from there, when prompted... But, all of the burden of having to port my P3Dv2 flawless install, ASN, PFPX... No... I'm just good as I am right now :-) Flying gliders since 1980 Flightsimming since 1992 AMD Ryzen 5600x, 32GB RAM, GPU Nvidia RTX 3060 Ti 8 GB, 1 TB and 500 GB nvme2 SSD drives, HP 27" 60Hz LED monitor @ 1920x1080, T16000, Hotas from old X52 Pro, Saitek Combat Rudder Pro (2010 model)
August 2, 201510 yr So after a lot of trial and error including a very rare ORBX TODO file error that blocked the installation i am finally here with an upgrade. Just FYI, I too had that file blocking my upgrade (it stops the profile being copied to the new location). I deleted it and it upgraded fine in the end luckily...
August 2, 201510 yr Author I must admit having PC for 15 years and never have i had this positive experience so far upgrading a OS. So far everything works out for me including Project Cars GTAV and Trains S 2015. With steam. I also had to move my steamfolder to another drive because my ssd was close to full but no issues so far at least. The performance is better. I cant explain it other than the smoothneth feels better. I have everything enabled for now including Windows defender etc etc but will wait a bit disabling anything. For the record i updated everything possible in Windows 7 first. Michael Moe Michael Moe
August 2, 201510 yr I intent to wait till v3 is released and if that one has been programmed when using w10 I will upgrade. 5950x3d 5.4-5.7 GHz - Asus ROG 870 Crosshair Apex - GSkill Neo 2x 24 Gb 6000 mhz / cas 26 - MSI RTX 5090 Gaming Trio OC - 1x SSD M2 6000 2TB - 1x SSD M2 2800/1800 1Tb - Corsair 5400 case - Corsair 360 liquid cooling set - 3x 75’ TCL tv. 13600 6 cores @ 5.1 GHz / 8 cores @ 4.0 GHz (hypterthreading on) - Asus ROG Strix Gaming D - GSkill Trident 4x Gb 3200 MHz cas 15 - Asus TUF RTX 4080 16 Gb - 1x SSD M2 2800/1800 2TB - 2x Sata 600 SSD 500 Mb - Corsair D4000 Airflow case - NXT Krajen Z63 AIO liquide cooling - FOV : 200 degrees My flightsim vids : https://www.youtube.com/user/fswidesim/videos?shelf_id=0&sort=dd&view=0

August 2, 201510 yr I think everything after windows 7 is a downgrade, frankly. Why so pessimistic ? It is a known fact that MS messes 1 of 2 Windows : I just did the move to W10 (these days you find W7 keys for 20$ which qualifies you for free W10 upgrade) Everything is perfectly working as of now.
August 2, 201510 yr After all... I just migrated, and am very satisfied.... Had to install Win 8 Pro, and from there migrate to Win 10 Pro. ASN, P3Dv2.5, PSX all working like a charm!

August 2, 201510 yr I too tried upgrading to Win 10 and part from an issue with my Saitek TQ I too can confirm everything is working really good! Looking at the performance and overall smoothness I find Win 10 clearly better vs Win 7 running the exact same settings. I still have a Win 7 system image and my plan was to just give Win 10 a quick spin but after having experienced how smooth it is vs Win 7 I think I'll do a clean install of Win10 despite all the work reinstalling P3D including all my addons and stay with Win10. Wouldn't feel fun going back to Win 7 now that I know how good it is in Win 10. As for LM and looking at future versions of P3D I would be very surprised if they don't make sure it will run fine on a Win 10 computer. Like it or not Win10 is now the most current OS from MS and as far as I'm concerned I think it will turn out to be a very good one.
