Hello Pete Have a look at there steps one by one Did you remove all 5 generated file locations as seen from This Video and then test Prepar3D ? Do you have the Windows app FL Studio or even external USB Sound cards ? Have a look at This Post --- Temporarily Disable any Antivirus Software you may, Then launch Prepar3D and test. Note: If you using a software like BitDefender ensure you Temporarily turn off all Options and Modules If you are using Windows Defender temporarily Turn Off "Real Time Protection" then launch Prepar3D and test. --- Confirm your dedicated graphics card is set to properly execute Prepar3D.

Then to Graphics > PowerPlay - Set Plugged In and Battery to Maximum Performance and Click Apply.

Yes as Harry has stated above. You can also just Deactivate the Prepar3D Client on your current computer, this will release the license from your operating system. Then proceed to Install and activate Prepar3D on your new computer or drive. Please see This Post for steps to Deactivate the Client

As the rest have posted, Yes 16 ram is loads for Prepar3D. On a side note though, My computer is now nearly 5 years old and has 16 of Ddr3 ram (slow ram for today) However I do use After effects and other Adobe stuff and these Apps are hard on memory ram, So when I treat myself to a new computer I will defo get 32 fast ram so i can potter around with my videos in extra comfort Currently I am only getting 8 (ish) seconds play back on full resolution using After effects
