MS 2020 Removal?

Featured Replies

I have both 2020 and 2024...I am happy with 2024...

I have no real use for 2020 (unless someone can suggest one)...

should I remove 2020?...is their any thing am giving up?...what

is the best way to remove?...

2024 is an upgrade in every way. Do it.

Uninstalling 2020 should remove everything itself.

You can "uninstall it", but you also lose any 2020 aircraft or sceneries that you may own.. and possibly want to re-use in 2024..

So back up what ever you treasure 🙂

MSFS 2024 -Too many airplanes to name. Too many airports to name.

also check and see if any of your addons have native 2024 versions as well

I had a hundred or so planes and sceneries in 2020. When I removed 2020, I lost nothing, not a single one.

Don't erase your community folder and you won't lose any assets not purchased in the marketplace. Meanwhile all the ones purchased in the 2020 marketplace are recognized by 2024. Some few of these will have issues in 2024. So if there are any of these that cause you to still fly 2020, then keep 2020. But if you no longer fly 2020, I would ditch it and free up a ton of space.

5800X3D, RTX4070, 600 Watt, one or two 1440p 32" screens, 64 GB RAM, 4 TB  PCle 3 NVMe, Warthog throttle, VKB NXT EVO stick, Honeycomb Alpha yoke, CH quad, 3 Logitech panels, 2 StreamDecks, Desktop Aviator Trim Panel. Crystal Light VR.

 

You only lose assets that are permanently disabled like the 2020 Zinertek stuff with an auto upgrade to 2024.

I have both installed still, and still fky frequently in 2020. I myself think 2024 is not quite polished yet.

Its getting there thou.

Career mode

Texture blurriness

VR

Performance

Streaming at peak load causing issues

Live weather bugs

just a few from the top of my head, I'd certainly recommend keeping 2020 installed for a bit longer OP if you have the space.

I keep my 2020 as a fallback for when something is breaking 2024 like a problematic update, or a problem with the servers, or whatever else that can make 2024 unusable.

I still have MSFS2020 installed. Not for flying, but to set up my 3 screens. In MSFS2020 you can set up multi views while seeing the scenery on all 3 screens from within the cockpit, while MSFS2024 puts you in a drone mode and you cannot see how it looks before reloading an going back into the cockpit. The values I use in MSFS2020 I then use in MSFS2024.

It is really incredible that Asobo still has not fixed that, as they know this.

Since the community folder is created by the 2020 install when you uninstall 2020 how does that not get deleted?
