Its jusr wants to reinstall from fresh. Is this fixable? What you can try, is to go to the E drive and move the "MSFS Content" to a folder of your choice... Then when reinstalling MSFS, you tell the installer where the "Content" is located. First create a new folder on your E drive and call it MSFS 1. On the E drive, find the WpSystem folder and keep opening it up, until you find the LocalCache folder 2. In the LocalCache folder, find the Packages folder 3. Drag this Packages folder into your new MSFS folder When reinstalling MSFS, when it shows the default Content location at the bottom of the screen, change it to: E:\MSFS\Packages and hit Enter At that point, the installer should pick up your saved Content.
