My system has been unchanged since MSFS came out in August 2020, but my experience with "upgrades" has been inconsistent and unpredictable. One of them (SU5, I think), rendered my sim unusable until they put out a "hotfix" days later. This last one ("Game of the Year Edition") went smoothly, and the sim seems to be working fine, so far. (Knock on wood.) But you never know.

 

Related Q: Eventually, they will fill up my entire 2T hard drive, right? So is it OK to just delete folders you know you will not use -- Discovery flights, e.g.; many redundant liveries.

Of course it is OK, I do It all the time, and not only discovery flights or liveries: also lots of aircraft, airports, even entire world updates I will never use.

 

In fact I'm not interested in any extras included in this SU7, so I deleted everything but the mandatory part.

 

Only remember to delete all the unwanted ítems from the Content Manager, not manually in Windows.

That concerns me too, filling up the entire 2tb drive.... another expense and time!

OK, but how do you know what's the "mandatory part"?

I don't see the basis of your concern. Currently my MSFS with all updates through SU7 takes up 171 GB on a 500 GB drive. Moreover, the last three updates combined have produced a net increase of less than 10 GB. So far, I have not deleted anything from my MSFS installation. I should add that all my add-ons are stored on a different drive from MSFS, and I use Addon Manager to provide links to them.

For whatever it’s worth, SU8 is supposed to be bug fixes. I don’t know if that’s exclusively or if there will still be added features to introduce more bugs. Not until February, I believe.
