Awaiting the arrival of a new computer/monitor. I've invested massive amounts of time and money to the FSX enterprise but will now jump into the XP11 experience. A few big picture questions first:
1. Does Windows 10 64-bit need to be tweaked for XP 11 like Windows 7 for FSX? (I'm recalling NickN's guide for FSX optimization with Windows OS)
2. I will have 1 TB SSD and a 4 TB SATA III mechanical hard-drive, which drive should XP 11 be installed? Can it be on the same drive as Windows 10? Does it need to be installed to a root C:// or D://, or a separate folder?
3. Do most guys run with an anti-virus or is it switched off?
4. Should I allow Win 10 to be updated automatically?
5. I've got quite a few controllers from FSX (Saitek radio/autopilot panels), PFC throttle quadrant/throttles, CH yoke and rudder pedals, Track IR...will XP 11 auto identify these and should they be calibrated within XP11 or is it recommended to use FSUIPC or XUIPC I guess?
6. Finally, the absolute must does when first installing XP11 on a new computer (Win 10)
New computer specs: i7-9700k oc'd 4.7Ghz, 1 TB SSD +4 TB SATA III HD, RTX 2070 8GB GDDR6 video card, 16GB DDR4/3000Mhz RAM
Thanks in advance
