solomod Posted October 15, 2020 Share Posted October 15, 2020 Is it possible to run MSFS 2020 on Win 7 Pro 64-bit? I have a HP Z600 Workstation, two Xeon processors 3.2Ghz, with 24Gb RAM which copes with XPlane 11 quite well. My download speed is 7Mbps - I live in the French coutryside but they have promised me fibre (50Mbps) sometime in 2022. Many thanks, David Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elvensmith Posted October 15, 2020 Share Posted October 15, 2020 The specifications do state Windows 10 and pretty much the latest version is the minimum to run the game. Vern. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
g7rta Posted October 15, 2020 Share Posted October 15, 2020 You should be able to update Windows 7 to Windows 10 though & for free too. You will need the latest version of Win 10 for MSFS as Vern as already said. You can download Win 10 from Microsoft & put it on a USB memory stick. Then install it as an upgrade from Win 7. Once installed, go through all the updates to make sure you have the latest version. It’s a good idea to installed the “windows update assistant†(from Microsoft). This will ensure Win 10 is updated to the latest version, Regards Steve Intel I9-13900K - Gigabyte Z790 Aorus Elite AX - 64Gb DDR5 5600Mhz - Asus RTX4090 ROG STRIX 24GB 3x 43” Panasonic 4k TVs - Corsair RMx 1200W PSU - 2 x 2TB M.2, 2 x 4TB SATA III and 1 x 4TB M.2 SSDs.

solomod Posted October 16, 2020 Author Share Posted October 16, 2020 Thank you all for the feedback but I think I'll stick with FS2004 and the occasional visit to XPlane. Happy flying, David Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Happy flying, David Thankfully Asobo's very computer demanding new gaming offering does not carry with it a mandate that everyone buy it and use it. If you are enjoying what your current computer system allows you to "fly", have fun and keep on flying. It is not uncommon in MY experience to have to upgrade my machine every 3-5 years if I want to use the latest & greatest releases from software makers.

cobalt Posted October 16, 2020 Share Posted October 16, 2020 That's fine -- I know a guy who prefers to drive his '56 De Soto. Tastes do vary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
