Will FS2004 run on Windows 10?   It ran well on 8.1. 

[micstatic 4,340]

yes it will run.  Just need the FS9.1 patch.

I'm running it in Windows 10. Somehow, it runs better in windowed mode. You'll need the so-called No-CD patch. I understand this authentication method was disabled for Win10.

I have it installed,  I just cant get it to start.    So were does one get this patch?

Ok. I have downloaded the FS9.1 patch.    I read the instructions,  but I will still need help. 

I did get FS 2002 installed on my HP lap-top and it runs fine.  In fact, It is the only version  of FS I can fly right now!

Thank's  for the help.

1. Install Fs2004 into C:/     NOT into it's default C:/Program Files directory

2. Install the 9.1 patch

3. Install the 9.1 nocd patch

4. Right-click the desktop icon & select Properties

5. Select the Compatibility tab & select XP from the pull down menu

6. At the bottom, Select Run as Administrator

7. Run the sim from the desktop icon.

FS9 is already installed. I see the FS9 patch in the folder.       so do I need to start over and reinstall?    

[Wobbie 938]

Ok, in what directory is FS9 installed? 

Is the nocd patch installed?

A new install is unneccessary!!!!!!

1. Copy & paste the whole sim folder into C:/ (Do not delete the old install as yet!)

1a. Delete the existing desktop shortcut

1b. Select the FS9.exe in the NEW folder, & send to desktop

2. Install the 9.1 update if not already done!

3. Install the 9.1 nocd patch, if not already done!

4. Right-click the desktop icon & select Properties

5. Select the Compatibility tab & select XP from the pull down menu

6. At the bottom, Select Run as Administrator

7. Run the sim from the desktop icon. 

If you really want to do a new install, you can, but the above way works perfectly!

Let me know if you have any issues!
