Moving MSFS to a New Computer

Featured Replies

I'm trying to decide if I should download MSFS now, or wait a few months until I build a new computer. I don't want to create licensing difficulties that I have to straighten out because of the new hardware. I plan to buy direct from the MS store. Despite MSFS being out for only a few weeks, has anyone tired moving the sim to new hardware? If so, how did it go?

Can it just be a simple as uninstalling MSFS from the old computer and reinstalling on the new one?

Thanks,

Al

If you're in the least bit serious about your simming I'd wait.

Get a new machine and a few months down the road hopefully Asobo will have corrected a lot of the issues in the current release.
