Guys thank you very much for the answer, really!! A question about the cache, what does it mean that I won't need the cache? Do you mean the manual one or the Rolling one? That is, I disable the manual one and leave the Rolling one active? Is that correct? I'm sorry but this aspect is still not clear to me...

No problem.  Both caches are really for people with a poor internet connection.  Your 100mbs is fine.  

Rolling cache saves the scenery as you fly, so if you fly back along the same route, it doesn't have to fetch it from the server again.

Manual cache is when you set it to download gigabytes of scenery before you fly, overnight for instance.

If you have slow internet, they can work well for some people.  However, they can cause the sim to crash after an update sometimes - that is when it is good to flush or delete them and start again.

As I say, at 100mbs, you don't need to use the caches.  I would set them to 0GB, turn them off, delete what is already in the cache etc. etc.

Reasons to use the caches: -

1.  Slow internet.

2.  Expected internet outage.

3.  You are on a limited or metered connection, such as a maximum gigabyte limit per month, or pay by the gigabyte.

I don’t use a cache of any kind, I don’t know if you need to or not. I believe that the premise was that it would ease the amount of data that would need to be downloaded for individuals running slow or metered internet and are flying around the same areas.  I have 800mbs service so it is really of no consequence to me.  It seems you have fairly good internet speed as well.

@Stefano88 Sorry, I added more info after you read my post.

You have been very kind to give me these explanations, thank you! Yes Rob, I have read all your advice in detail, so I am not one of those who have to use the cache. So you advise me to keep both cash, manual and Rolling disabled, go good .. In this way, based on where I fly in live mode, all the scenery is loaded at best through my internet connection, is this correct? Which I think is the most natural thing. Even in cities with photogrammetry such as Rome, London, etc. it loads everything in the best details, is it correct? Thank you very much for the explanations in the smallest details!!! As I always used fsx, this new msfs scares me a bit for all the things I read, which can seem quite complex for the first time time.As I read, which I haven't understood yet, once the simulator is installed, I will have to download and update with all the world updates one at a time, but from what I read there is a particular procedure to follow which does not it's really clear to me. How did you figure out how to do it?

"I copy verbatim: How to prepare for this update: If you are using the manual cache feature, please make sure to delete it via the in-game menu and create an updated version as we performed some backend technical updates. Some packages in your community folder may not have been updated and, as a result, may have an unexpected impact on the title's performance and behavior.Please move your community package(s) to another folder before relaunching the title if you suffer from stability issues or long loading times. After you download the newest update for Microsoft Flight Simulator, head to the Marketplace to download the free World Update"

Does this process apply to all users? Is there a guide or tutorial somewhere I can follow? Thanks so much Rob and Frank!!

Yes, it applies to everyone, and it really is as simple as that - no further tutorial needed.   The photogrammetry cities should load fine at your speed, but some of them are not the best for quality. 

As for the updates, just tick the ones you want in the marketplace (I have all of them), and leave the sim downloading for a few hours or maybe overnight, because there are many gigabytes of data.  Best to do it when you are not flying of course, just leave the sim open in the background to download.

I am from FSX, P3D, and Xplane 11.  MSFS is based on FSX, but has a lot of changes as you would expect, but it is worth putting the effort in to understand it. 
It will be very rewarding in the long term, and has an exciting future ahead of it with planned improvements.
It is best to learn little bits at a time, such as the camera system, then maybe the weather system (just some examples).

If you have problems, here (on Avsim), and the official MSFS (Microsoft / Asobo) forums are the best places to ask.  Welcome to the club!

My migration was buttery smooth as I made a list before hand.

-Get the new pc up and running

-D/L MSI and configure fans

-Verify HAGs is turned on 

-Download MSFS from Steam 

-Download all owned content from Content manager

-Download all owned content that remained from the Store

-Test flight

- Downloaded remaining content owned from Pmdg and Just Flight 

- Download and configured Simbrief and Navigraph 

-Test flights

-Cocktail(s)

How many very useful explanations and advice, thank you very much! Yes, I'm thinking of making a schedule too on the operations to be done and doing them in the right order. First, fix the PC, connect it. Second, download the simulator. Third, download all the world updates and various updates msfs (so just download the world updates from the store and the whole installation is automatic without me having to do anything complex in the msfs folders???). Fourth, connect and set the flyer and pedal. Fifth, set the video settings on msfse on the Nvidia panel. Sixth, I'm finally doing a test flight and having a first feedback. Sixth, adding 737pmdg and I'm evaluating other essential addons like navigraph...yes, I've seen how much msfs has been enlarged and improved compared to fsx, and I'm more than ready to fully try my hand .About the weather, I think it's quite simple to setup live weather live and with updates, right it's simple I guess?As a result it charges me the real weather based on where I'm flying as well as the weather in real life, is that correct? the cocktail, I think is more than deserved!! I also hope my migration from fsx to msfs is smooth and easy!! Hugs to you Frank and Rob, thank you!

Yes Stefano. live weather where you are flying at the time, including any changes as you fly.  There is no historic weather yet.

The live weather is not always exactly 100% accurate, but it will be very close - most people don't have a problem with it. 
Sometimes the live weather is very bad where you want to fly (High winds or fog) so you have to pick a preset.  Gusts in the mountains and thermals are modelled very well now.

We have to watch not to go too far off-topic, so feel free to make a new thread if you want with any other questions. 
I would call it something like 'Going from FSX to MSFS'.
There is also a good 'tips and tricks' section at the top of the forum page.

How much power does a 4080 require, are my gold standard power supply of 850W sufficient?

That’s what I’m using, all good here.

Same here, 850w PSU and it's more than enough. Mine is slightly undervolted and never pulls more than ~280w in MSFS.

Yes I use a EVGA 850w - the 4080 is running cooler than my 1080 to and quieter too.

Like the other lads say, 850W is plenty for 4080.
I have a Corsair RM850x that I used with the 3090 and now with the 4080. 

The only thing you should put some attention to is making sure the Nvidia 16-pin (12+4) adapter cable is fully seated in the card. When you push in and hear a subtle click, it's all good.

Even my 4090 stays cool and quiet, the power draw is much lower than I thought based on the initial discussion of the 40xx cards.
