June 7, 20232 yr I'm in the throws of updating my rig and likely to jump across to Ryzen 7, in doing so, I will need to upgrade my MB. I'm just wondering if I may run into trouble reinstalling MSFS and Win10. All the original registries having been lost in relation to licencing and so forth, or does the sim only rely on your MS account and email? Thanks.

June 7, 20232 yr The sim itself needs only your MS account credentials. You can even install it on a second machine which never has seen MSFS before. There may be addons, though, needing registry entries.

Just make sure your windows key is attached to your digital account, this link will help. I've just done quite a few upgrades and went pretty smooth. https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/reactivating-windows-after-a-hardware-change-2c0e962a-f04c-145b-6ead-fb3fc72b6665#ID0EBD=Windows_10 Paul BeQuiet Pure Base 500 FX - MSI Mag Tomahawk B760 - i9 14900KS - 32GB RAM - RTX 5070Ti 16GB - Kooui 34" Ultrawide Curved Monitor - TCA Officer Pack - Honeycomb Alpha Yoke - WINWING MCDU
