April 9, 20179 yr Good evening, Please, I was wondering which OS, Windows 7 x64 or Windows 8.1 x64, is the most recommended for FSX(both, MS and SE) and which Flight Simulator works better with PMDG 737NGX? Thank you!!
April 9, 20179 yr Administrators I would bet that Windows 7-64bit will win hands down!

Too many problems with the new Sims! 😱Trying to keep peace and harmony and the will of Landru on the site seems to be a full time job!
April 10, 20179 yr Commercial Member If those are the only choices, then without question I recommend Windows 7 64 bit. Best wishes. Dave Hodges System Specs: I9-13900KF, NVIDIA 4070TI, Quest 3, Multiple Displays, Lots of TERRIFIC friends, 3 cats, and a wonderfully stubborn wife.
April 10, 20179 yr So far, I've had the best results with Win 10. I have been using Flight Sim since the DOS and Sublogic days, so I have tried them all. I never used Win 8. I had Win 7 64 bit for about a year and a half, and it worked pretty good, too. i9-10850K, ASUS TUF GAMING Z490-PLUS (WI-FI), 32GB G.SKILL DDR4-3603 / PC4-28800, GIGABYTE RTX5080 16GB WF OC 3 FAN running 3440x1440
April 10, 20179 yr No question about that one.....Windows 7 and the boxed version (MS).

April 10, 20179 yr As far as which sim it works better in, that would be the Steam Edition of FSX as opposed to the boxed version, not because it works any differently in either, but simply because the Steam version runs a little bit better in terms of FPS and a few other minor features.

April 10, 20179 yr What is windows 8.1? I will use my Win 7 Ultimate 64 bit until it dies. I have zero interest in Windows 10. Ric Elmore
April 10, 20179 yr Windows 10. Works so well that I don't even miss Windows 7. 7950X3D + 7900 XT + 64 GB + Linux | 4800H + RTX2060 + 32 GB + Linux My add-ons from my FS9/FSX days
April 10, 20179 yr Removed the boxed FSX now using steam FSXSE with windows 10 no problem, were we are going to end up no windows 11 in the pipe unless you use another O/S. Ray Fry. Raymond Fry.
April 11, 20179 yr +1 for FSX:SE and Windows 10. Was previously on Windows 7 but I'm glad I changed, it just seems generally snappier now. i7-14700k | Asus ROG STRIX Z790-F Gaming WIFI | 32GB DDR5 RAM | MSI RTX 4080 Super | WD Black SN850X 1TB & 2TB | Corsair HX1000i ATX3.0 | MSI MAG401QR 40" monitor | Win 11 Pro 64-bit | Meta Quest 3

April 13, 20179 yr Author Hmm.... Which one: Win7 Home Premium 64-bits with MS:FSX, or, Win10 Home 64-bits with FSX:SE, works better with PMDG B737NGX?? Thank you all!!!
