Just a follow-up: installed Windows 10, FSX:SE, PMDG 737NGX, PMDG 772 and some add-ons and I am pretty happy with my gear now. I totally recommend a Windows 10 upgrade.

Thanks for the reply. I am running FSX:SE now the sim crashed right after an ALT-TAB keystroke. I am eligible for a Windows 10 upgrade so I ask you wheter is Windows 10 behaving consistently and if performance has suffered or not. The reason I am asking that is because a good sim takes lots of time and effort to be properly set-up so I don't want to invest time on an installation and wipe it out a few days later, if you know what I mean. So I have three OS options now (7, 8.1 and 10) and two FSX versions (boxed and FSX:SE) and I wonder which OS/FS versions should I use. My computer specs: Lenovo Y50-70 laptop: I7-4720HQ @ 2.60 GHz NVidia GTX960M - 4Gb DDR5 16Gb PC3-12800 (1600 MHz) Windows 8.1-64 Thanks ! Ricardo

Performance wise, is Windows 7 a better choice than Windows 8.1 ? I am running FSX:SE on a Lenovo Y50-70 laptop. This is a fresh FSX install so I wonder if continue using the stock Windows 8.1 preinstalled (which I have stripped bare to the bone) or should I wipe it out and install Windows 7 ? Ricardo
