Upgrading PC, how does one "move" Prep3D

Recommended Posts

Hi all,

I am contemplating upgrading my motherboard and CPU. I would appreciate and advice on what I need to do to get Prep3D running on the "New" PC. I have Prep3D on its own SSD. 

FSX can be a real PITA to do this, my hope is that Prep3D is not so troublesome.

One doesn't move P3D. One uninstall P3D, replaces the motherboard and reinstalls.

It is also advisable to deactivate PMDG products (if you have any) before uninstalling so you can reinstall them on the “new PC” without having license activation issues.  Review their documentation to understand the specifics.
