February 7, 201610 yr 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. i7-6700K @ 4.5 GHz, 16 GB DDR4-2400 MHz, GTX 1070 8GB

February 11, 201610 yr 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...
February 13, 201610 yr 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: 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?

February 13, 201610 yr 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.

February 13, 201610 yr the update to win 10 was sitting there waiting for me today.does anyone know what happens if you click on the update to win 10 and select hide update ,does it stop it or not Peter
February 13, 201610 yr Commercial Member 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.

February 13, 201610 yr I don't think they're going to get sued for updating their own product. 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: Christopher Low AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D CPU / 64GB DDR5-6000 RAM / 12GB Nvidia RTX 4070 Super GPU / Gigabyte X870E Aorus Elite Wifi 7 / 1+2TB Samsung Evo Plus M2 Nvme UK2000 Beta Tester

February 15, 201610 yr 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.
February 17, 201610 yr 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..
