Microsoft pushes Windows 10 as ‘recommended’ Windows update

Those who say that all their addons work just fine in Win10, clearly

do not have any Reality XP gauges installed in their airplanes  :wink:

for any windows 10 haters, you might as well get use to it now, any new hardware builds newer than the 6700k will only allow windows 10 to be installed.Intel is working with microsoft to block intel chips from installing windows 8.1 or windows 7.

 

 

Do you have a reliable source for that information?

 

 

It's probably a slight distortion of this bit of news. http://arstechnica.com/information-technology/2016/01/skylake-users-given-18-months-to-upgrade-to-windows-10/

 

 

To be honest, we're talking about security/1st party support, not compatibility. Of course Skylake will be compatible with 8.1, 7, Vista, XP, and prior if you want it to be.

For anyone whose system(s) shut down recently for an apparent update, here's what was done. http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-10/update-history-windows-10

Oh no! I just had an update last night, and I also recognised that l, all of a sudden, nearly 10 GB of HDD space were gone. And right now, I realised, that after a fresh install of everything, not too along ago, I forgot to disable the automatic updates.

I hope, that it won't install Win10 automatically when I turn on the machine next time. Everything just works flawlessly right now, and that would probably mess up my FSX and P3D install...

I take it from this that RXP FLT / FLN gauges do not work in W10 (as they do not in W8.1).  RXP GNS430 is OK in W8.1 FSX.  Is it still OK in W10 FSX?

Upgrading to Windows 10 is an option, not an automatic update. If Microsoft tried the latter without getting permission from its respective customers, they would be sued out of existence.

I don't think they're going to get sued for updating their own product.

I believe the answer is NO

Maybe I am mistaken here. Are we talking about a Windows 10 update for existing Windows 10 users, or an update that automatically upgrades Windows 7 or 8 to Windows 10? If it's the former (as I now suspect), then disregard my comments as the ravings of a lunatic :smile:

Check out the Forbes article I linked.

Is anyone else having issues with SimConnect based addons after the Windows 10 updates over the last few days?  It would seem that the update nerfs Simconnect somehow, but I haven't got to the bottom of it yet.

 

Also - disabling automatic updates in Windows 10 may not work.  If you want to avoid any updates going forward, also set your network connection to "Metered", and that'll prevent Win10 from downloading updates automatically.

Seen today on my W7 machine, lol :–

what MS doesnt tell any one is that most of them did not get the upgrade from MS but rather from those who have already installed it.. us users are being used as mail boxes by MS  i.e. you not only pay for the data download to get it installed but then you pay for the data upload to everyone else..

This feature can be switched off but MS doesnt tell anyone that.

Yeah, the ######s.. It's not like they put it up on a sign explicitly stating that during install and... Oh wait..
