October 17, 20205 yr Before I do anything I might regret - I am planning to reinstall windows from scratch. Fresh and clean to make sure no junk in the system is slowing it down. I have FS2020 installed on a separate SSD. Do you think the installation will still work? Because, to qoute chief Brody in JAWS 2 - "I am not going through that hell again..."
October 17, 20205 yr Maybe that is not going to help and all the efforts to the bin if is only for more fps in MFS, making a full backup with Acronis for example, you can clean it with tools like CCleaner, uninstall programs with Revo Uninstaller etc. and have in a healthy manner the W10 with the less trash possible. I am thinking in that too, but only installing it in other partition the W10 LTSC and nothing more and to try it and if there is some fps and smoothness so. Edited October 17, 20205 yr by peloto

October 17, 20205 yr A fresh install of Windows is the best possible foundation for a good experience with the sim. However I would format the SSD too. If you are going to the trouble to fresh install Windows (which is a truly quick and painless exersize once you have backed up personal files), why not? The sim will take a few hours to install over a slower connection but then you know it has been done right. How many hours will you spend in the sim vs a couple hours to install it properly. Taking shortcuts is not a wise move. You will lose registry entries that can only be inserted during a proper install. Then the next update will come out and you will be one of the people complaining that the update wants to install 100GB while everyone else is updating with 4GB. Don’t be that guy. With a fresh install, you should not need to go thru “hell”. Unless you have a super slow or unstable internet connection, no reason it should be a headache. 😉 Edited October 17, 20205 yr by RaptyrOne GregH Intel Core i7 14700K / Palit RTX4070Ti Super OC / Corsair 32GB DDR5 6000 MHz / MSI Z790 M/board / Corsair NVMe 9500 read, 8500 write / Corsair PSU1200W / CH Products Yoke, Pedals & Quad; Airbus Side Stick, Airbus Quadrant / TrackIR, 32” 4K 144hz 1ms Monitor
