Windows 10

On my 3rd attempt I managed to download W10 (WX?) onto a USB stick so that I can load my laptop at leisure & also load to my wife's laptop. It took 6 hours to d/l on my snail ADSL!
I shall not be doing my tower though as its a W8.1 Enterprise, & I'm quite happy at the moment to leave it as is.
If you see blue smoke emanating from my corner of the globe you will know the reason!

Just moments ago, Microsoft released it´s first win10 update, called SR1.
There are some guys saying that it corrected the "black screens". I tried here, but no, i have "loading" black screen yet. Try it!

Just go to your windows update and force a verifcation.

.....no doubt about it...WIN-10 is great..Easy Install,Custom Install,Like it...BUT,and its a big BUT..For Many in the World Of FLIGHT SIMMING??.GAMEING??..From FS9 to FSX Disk and Steam...one can get a WIN 10 induced CONNIPTIONS...Does Microsoft Understand there are "WE" and are here ??..or Are "WE" got sent to the Dump like FS9 , FSX and FLIGHT..To Recover my Extensive and historical Bill lyons FS9, and to get no problems with FSX Disk and Steam On Two Computers..I DELETED WIN 10..and the world is good again..WIN 7 serves me well.....will Retreat now..wait,and hunker down And See What happens with Intelligent Information.which may come!.Will Not play CP GEEK!!..Just want to go FLYING..IF IT AIN'T BROKE LEAVE IT BE!!
 
Win10 installed on the final attempt, no problems thus far. . .all programs function as they should. In FSX, going to full screen across two monitors cause a small section of the black screen to appear on the right side of the main monitor with the remainder on the second monitor. I don't use full screen so it's no big deal for me. Thanks to all those who had constructive suggestions on what to check and where to look.
 
Glad to see you are up and running . I'm beginning to like Win 10 . The verdict is still out on Microsoft Edge though .

Not sure I've read a fix for my issue just yet. Win 10 runs very well on my rig, but FSX does not like it. If I make any change what so ever; be it weather, aircraft, settings, anything, the sim will immediately CTD.

Again, may have missed the fix; but if anybody has any insight I'd be grateful.
 
Is Win10 the same as Win 7 and 8 where you have click inside the directory box as the last step when adding new scenery to FSX? Or did the fix that?
 
Going on day 3 with Win10 no problems thus far...definitely fast and all my favorite stuff plays! Happy as a clam in cold water...hmmmmmm wonder if I just jinxed myself?

All is well now...got kinda scary there for a little bit! Got it in December as a Christmas gift and it has been a great tablet. I quit using my old first generation Apple iPad tablet. This WinBook tab was fast before Windows 10 but it is even faster now! YEEEEEEHAWWWWW!!! It's a Winbook TW700 Tablet - Windows 8.1 with full-size USB port, IPS Display, and one year of FREE Microsoft Office 365

OK! Glad it worked out for ya, but what happened to it, technically speaking? And what did you do to make it work as it should?

Cheers,

I've noticed faster loading boot times and increased performance

Lucky you,

I have not noticed any performance improvement on my Laptop.

Boot up time is a lot longer than my original W7, which is surprising, as the Windows 8 I have on there for a while booted up very fast. And that was the only thing I liked about Windows 8.

What I don't like about Windows 10 so far is the "Unexpected Store Exception" bsod, every time the laptop goes into sleep mode, or even after a full shut down.

AMD just released a new graphics driver that I installed an hour ago. We will see if that solves the BSOD issue.

Since I am running the Windows 10 upgrade, I am wondering if doing a clean install would make a difference?

Is FSX installed in "C:\Program Files(x86)"?

If so, that's as much of a no-no as it was on Windows 7 and 8. T&he best course of action would be instlling it in another folder.

That's a "no" from me, too.
 
So far for me very little problems converting from W8.1 to W10 on my laptop, except for the time taken to d/l on my snail pace ADSL (6 hours) onto a USB for installing on wifes Laptop, ,then 4 hours to install!
FSX & FS9 worked as before, but a couple of addons (AFSD & AAM v2.2) do not work.
Not noticed any improvement in loading/light up time, in fact probably slower, but that might be due to updates coming through. No improvement either in FS9 or FSX as far as I can detect. My laptop though does not have a lot of scenery addons & is very basic, just used really as an independent test machine, or for taking away on holiday!
Not going to change my tower though from 8.1 to 10, at least not yet.

Come in here dear boy have a cigar you're gonna go far you're gonna fly high you're never gonna die...[OK, so that's "Have a Cigar" ...but it sorta fits].
