When my new PC is built ?

Recommended Posts

I am building a new PC and am wondering if I will be able too just take my 2 SSD's and install them into the new machine. Everything will be new (motherboard, CPU, PS, Memory, Graphics Card but still using Windows 7 with OS on one SSD and P3D on the second) so what I wish to know is will I be able to use the PMDG 737 and 777 for P3D or not and if not how can I manage it without a whole new installation?

regards

Technically, yes, I've done it, but had problems. You're better off re-installing Windows, and subsequently will need to reinstall everything else. What will happen is you will end up with old driver references to all of the old hardware you used. You're better off starting off clean

Thanks Chris for that -  GOSH that sounds like fun it has taken me months to get everything install.

May be I shall hold off until Windows 10 has settled down and then start again.

That's probably not a bad option to be honest. I know users who are running W10 beta with P3D and they are running fine, so looks like it will be ok when it's released. You might as well save you're self the both of two installs and just do it with W10 once :)
