Oldynewby Posted March 23, 2019 Share Posted March 23, 2019 Hi, I'm currently using two separate computers to run FS9 and FSX and I'd like to consolidate everything on to one system. I'm running Windows 10 on the newer system and XP on the other. I've only recently purchased FS9 and a lot of my addons are designed for FS9 on XP. Frankly I haven't had much success with FSX! So as far as I know I've got a couple of options: 1. Partition the HDD on the new system and clean install XP on a dual boot system. 2. Transfer the XP HDD in its entirety into the new computer. 3. Run my FS9/XP addons in FSX. There are pros and cons to each of these options although I'm not really sure which is the most viable. Does anyone have any constructive thoughts on this? Regards, Paul.

Luke Posted March 24, 2019 Share Posted March 24, 2019 1) Run Windows 10. 2) Install FS9 and FSX. 3) Install your add-ons into their respective simulators. 4) Fly! Cheers! Luke Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oldynewby Posted March 25, 2019 Author Share Posted March 25, 2019 Thanks for that Luke. My main concern is that my add-ons mostly specify XP as the OS. Will Windows 10 fit the bill? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mallcott Posted March 25, 2019 Share Posted March 25, 2019 Thanks for that Luke. My main concern is that my add-ons mostly specify XP as the OS. Will Windows 10 fit the bill? FS2004 works fine with Win 10. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zswobbie1 Posted March 25, 2019 Share Posted March 25, 2019 100% perfect.. However, FS2004 needs a 'special' way to be installed. Regards, Robin Robin Cape Town, South Africa Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
krasen Posted March 25, 2019 Share Posted March 25, 2019 Greetings All, I believe that the reason XP was specified is because it was the most advanced (?) version of the OS at the time. As with Luke I'm running Windows 10 and haven't had an issue with FSX, FSX:SE or any of the P3D versions Respectfully, Brian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luke Posted March 25, 2019 Share Posted March 25, 2019 100% perfect.. Is that installing it into the C\: root drive? Partly - you want it outside of Program Files, then add the NoCD patch. Cheers! Luke Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
