New computer getting home soon. Starting from zero.

Good afternoon.

Sorry for for a very boring post. The new computer I bought for MSFS2020 seems to be arriving soon (after 3 months).

I have an Steam version of the sim, so I guess the only thing I have to do is installing it anew. I remember I had to set up an Xbox account, but I don´t remember passwords or anything like that. Will I need them again or are they related to my Steam account?

After so much waiting I hope I can start simming without many issues and that the new gear will improve the experience.

Thank you very much for stopping by, I acknowledge this is not an interesting topic.

Wow, 3 months to deliver a PC?

You need to recover the Xbox account information with your Outlook e-mail account. It is separate from the Steam account.

Or, if you can't, create a new one.

Thank you very much!

I ordered the PC (January 7th) knowing the graphic card and the processor were not in stock. A couple of days ago I called and they told me that they had everything but the processor. They offered to build the PC with the immediately inferior processor (which was in stock) and I agreed. It has been built by now and it is under testing. I hope it will get home soon. It seems there is a high shortage of graphic cards and processors.

I've been waiting 6 months to even get the privilege to order a GPU from EVGA. It shouldn't be a surprise these days...

I went through Jet Line Systems because I knew that was an easier way to get a 3080, plus they overclock it and install MSFS and tweak it so it runs as good as it can. New computer should be arriving in a couple weeks and I can't wait. I'm still using FSX so I'm looking forward to the giant leap.
