I had a dalliance with W10 for about 10 months..... it is very very good and stable...... BUT it had serious problems for me in other sims like IL2 1946 - ran like a slug. Even IL2 Cliffs of Dover was awful. Also there were some issues with FS9 - not huge ones but annoying. I went back to W7 64 just before Xmas 17 and a so glad I did.

My experience has been completely the opposite. Windows 10 is far less 'bulky' than Win 7 and offers a smoother, faster experience on my PC(s) and laptop. I took advantage of the free upgrade and haven't looked back. I use Spybot Anti-Beacon to switch off all of the MS sneaky stealth stuff and haven't had any problems in that respect over and above what I had in Win 7, so the app seems to work. Strangely enough, I did have a problem in the last few days which I managed to sort out. There's no ability to totally stop all Win 10 updates, which is a double-edged sword. OK, it's good to know that all of the essential security updates etc have been installed but the internet is very slow over here and automatic update downloads can slow down your machine, usually at just the wrong times, which can be very irritating. The problem I had was that 'something' seemed to have taken my machine over, was keeping my HD running like mad and kept rebooting it every few minutes, which effectively made it unusable! I found that it was all down to an automatic service called Modern Setup Host that was constantly running. It appears that this is an app that MS installs without you knowing to install and configure major OS updates but it seems that the children in MS who are responsible for it don't know how to control it ie to switch it off when it's not needed. As soon as I did so my machine turned back from being a bucking bronco to a placid carthorse once again. So a BIG THANK YOU to MS for creating yet another global screw-up. They are clever, aren't they....

Vin, I suspect that it's the old story. The vocal minority who have problems shout the loudest and cry 'Foul' all the time whereas the vast majority who, like me, find it a big improvement on previous operating systems, just shrug their shoulders and get on with using and enjoying it. All of my installs have been 'clean' - Windows 7 that is - which I've then updated immediately to Windows 10 Pro. My main PC, which is 64 bit, my 'back up' PC (that I never use), which is 32 bit and even my old Dell Inspiron 1501 laptop, which is a museum piece with an AMD 64 bit processor that I 'upgraded' to a SSHD, all run Windows 10 happily and smoothly, so I suspect that the small number of folks who are complaining have either messed up their installations or screwed their configurations. We all jump on MS's back quickly enough when there is a problem but in my experience this isn't the case on the whole with Windows 10. I have been a MS user ever since MS-DOS days and I think that it's definitely the best OS that they've created. But there you go, we all make our own choices and I'd never go back to Windows 7, never. Like I say, I just smile and shrug my shoulders when people say that they swear by it and just carry on quietly with my Windows 10 set ups Hope that you're keeping well and haven't been bitten by any alligators, blown away by any tornadoes, crushed to death by any pythons or whatever. Just hang in there and live every day the best that you can. That's my philosophy now and that's what I'm doing. As I didn't have any sun at all last summer and have now completed my course of chemo, I'm thinking about taking a few days on the Red Sea so I can just lie in the sun and do nothing except relax, eat and drink. After all, it'll be all-inclusive..... Sound like a good idea? Oh BTW, although FSX runs fine in Win 10 on my main PC, I never fire it up these days because it's so useless in the area in which I live here in France. I only use X-Plane 11, which even with all of its faults is infinitely better and more realistic but even so, I've been spending most of my time on scenery design of small local airfields while I've been confined to barracks and not doing much 'flying' per se.

It was the chemo wot done it Vin. As soon as I started the treatment last spring and I knew that all the hair on my head would fall out I had it all cut off. But I didn't know that all the hair everywhere else would disappear too - nobody told me that - and I was too naive (at 71!) to work it out for myself. So as the days passed I found myself looking in the mirror and finding what looked more like the head of a python but with ears learing back at me Now that the chemo is finished and I'm thinking about recovery one of the main things I'm looking forward to is getting my hair, such as it is, back again. I'd prefer to leave the fashion for bald heads to those younger than me who seem to be able to carry it off better. I think that not having eyebrows, eyelashes and let alone no hair up my nose and in my ears may have something to do with it...

I am running Windows 10 Home, updated on a brand new Acer i5 4gb laptop, with FS2004. No problems whatsoever, & it seems to run smoother than my older W8 & W7 laptop.
The FS2004 is a cloned copy from the pulled harddrive from my older laptop that died.
A mate of mine got himself a new laptop with Windows 10, but it had problems with his online gaming, so he put Windows 7 on it, & promptly found that the new laptop was not compatible with some of the older drivers, as the hardware was optimesed for W10.
