However, I rightly decided to reinstall X-plane 10 and complete the beta updates. Naturally I figured there was a conflict with the new OS. Now X-plane 10 was previously installed on my computer so when Windows 10 was completed I attempted to launch X-plane straight up. I have since tried both and have decided to stick with Windows 10 pro. So here comes Windows 10 and because I like to tinker with computer software, I took my time deciding whether I wanted to install over windows 7 (home premium) and get Windows 10 home or Windows 8.1 pro making the OS windows 10 pro. (In Windows 8 the game had randomly closed or the OS would bump me back to the infamous metro start menu screen. Nevertheless, it has been my experience that X-plane 10 seemed to run more stable for me in Windows 7 so that is where I usually launched the sim from. And more recently had been dual booting Windows 7 with Windows 10 technical preview until it would no longer update on my computer. See, I had been dual-booting with windows 8.1 and windows 7. So what does this have to do with X-plane 10 you ask? It is related as I hope becomes apparent in a moment. Why four times? Because I am a tinkerer and the OS didn’t exactly go on my machine (AMD Phenom(tm) II X4 945 Processor, 3000 Mhz, 4 Core(s), 8 gb ram) without trouble but that’s a story for another day and another blog. You don't need classic shell as it operates almost identical to Windows 7.Įdit: I just looked at Classic Shell and it does have a Windows 10 version and looks really good.So I made the plunge and installed Windows 10….four times. You can shut down some of the monitoring, but does it really shut it down? This leads me to believe that they, like Apple, are going to continue to "give" the OS away (if you downloaded the "update" during the time offered) and already monitored more than you would have like anyway. They are going to remove support for all previous versions within a couple of years or so.

I have had no problems with this installation and think they have fixed most of the problems. I played with it for a while and finally took the plunge and "updated" all my computers. They removed the "update" quickly, but not quickly enough.Ī couple of months ago, the wife wanted to upgrade and I did it for her and it went very smoothly with all drivers installed and worked perfectly.

After installing it shortly after the release last year, it did great until the "fall update" which hit my flightsim computer and messed up everything on both drives.
