April 19, 201610 yr Now that I'm thinking to upgrade my laptop to a SSD (see current specs at the bottom), I'll also perform a clean install of Windows on it (something I never did with my 4-year old laptop, i.e., I started it using it as unboxed). However, this could be a good chance to move to Windows 10. This is what i have in my laptop: - FS 2004, in full screen (always) - FSUIPC registered - PSS 757 and 777 - Wilco/Feelthere Airbus - Feelthere E135/E145 - Feelthere E170/E190 - Leonardo Maddog - vasFMC gauge version - ISG gauges - iFly 737 and 747v2 (but I'm not longer flying them) - And lots of sceneries that shouldn't be an issue. Is it worthwhile to move to Windows 10 or should I stay with Windows 7? I have already downloaded both ISOs...

April 19, 201610 yr Your 2435M/HD3000 would probably run much better in W10 with an SSD than in W7... I had a 2330M/HD3000 laptop that performed much better under W10 than in W7, with a mechanical HDD. i7-6700K @ 4.5 GHz, 16 GB DDR4-2400 MHz, GTX 1070 8GB

Was it a clean install or an upgrade?Did you face any issues with any addon, or running FS9 in full screen?

April 19, 201610 yr Thanks, Diego. Was it a clean install or an upgrade?Did you face any issues with any addon, or running FS9 in full screen? Upgrade, then clean install. Sorry, I don't run FS9. I was just commenting on the fact that the computer itself responds much better in the new OS. i7-6700K @ 4.5 GHz, 16 GB DDR4-2400 MHz, GTX 1070 8GB
