October 14, 20232 yr I had to do a clean install of my Windows the other day and now I‘d like to reinstall MSFS. Since I still have all of my MSFS files on a separate drive, I‘d like to do this without having to redownload everything. Does anyone happen to know how this can be done? i9-11900K, RTX 4090, 32 GB ram, Honeycomb Alpha and Bravo, TCA Airbus sidestick and quadrant, Reverb G2
October 14, 20232 yr Yes, search for "reinstall" and you will get what you want, as this subject has been already answered several times.
October 14, 20232 yr I know its been discussed before. if you are lucky enough to find it, it will save you time. If you cant and have fast internet, by the time someone gives you the correct answer, you probably could redownload/install it by then. MSFS Alpha tester on W10 Pro x64.

For ms store version just open xbox app then install the 2gb Executable in the c drive then play/run and once the install shows the amount of imstall size click on text string and point that to the folder with community and official in it. Steam you have to setup the location of the drive of the steamlibrary make it default drive and then do the same as ms store (installer in c drive) and when the installer askes to install size again click on text string and then in this csse point to Steamlibrary/common folder Hope that makes sense.
