    Just when you think you have everything running some what better...

    You get a message from the Hosting company. Short story they need to move us to a new server. I have been working with them to plan a good date for all concerned. Here is what we have come up with as a schedule.

    1. November 4th 17:00 -5UTC shut off the forums and start backup proceedures. During this time there will be no access to the forums or the Resource Section.
    2. November 5th Continue with Backups and download same until complete.
    3. November 6th 7:00 turn over server to hosting company to move system to new server
    4. November 7th - 8th restore backups and upgrade forum software.

    If all goes well we should be back online on November 8th.

    To keep you updated we will post updates on AVSIM forums.

    Thank you for your support.

I added Windows 10 in a dual boot configuration with my old faithful Windows 7 on my dedicated flight sim PC and all was fine until a Windows 10 creators update bricked both and I had to reinstall Windows 7, all my flight sims and all my other supporting software.

Now I am a dedicated Windows 7 user, since I have neither the time nor patience to do deal with all the problems caused by Windows 10 updates.
 
I have always believed you don't upgrade the major release version on your system, but if your starting with a blank slate or getting a new system then go with the latest.

My previous system was W7 and it upgraded itself to W10 and at the time I had no reason to switch back, but eventually it degraded to the point it was unusable.

Now the new machine which I have had for almost a year came with W10 and I have no complaints.
 
Just FYI. Mine is Windows XP Pro with all 3 service packs by hand. That machine is NEVER on the internet. No problems.
 
Windows10, without any major problems. Actually some display problems were miraculously solved by W10

4 computers on Windows 10. My main sim computer has had Windows 7, Windows 8.1 and Windows 10 on it (each clean installs). Have run FSX, FSX-SE, Rise of Flight, DCS, XPlane 10, P3Dv3, and P3Dv4 on Windows 10 with problems only with FSX.

Currently running FSX-SE, ADE, ModelConverterX, and Instant Scenery on my Windows 10 development computer with no issues.

All computers are fully up to date with Creators Edition and updates are automatically applied every week.

PS I also do not run P3Dv4 or other addons as admin or in compatibility mode....no need to.
 
Windows 10 from new on a new PC. It has had all the updates too as well and I've had no problems with it.

Except at the beginning when I had to look up and find some applications that were missing from W10. Other than that it's been excellent.
