Gentlemen, I just did a Windows upgrade check of my Win7 Pro 64 bit system to Windows 8. The return list of what works and what doesn't didn't show anything about flight simulator or addons. Does anyone have experience with this upgrade? If so, how did it go for you?
I'm running an AMD 955 3.2 gHz 4 core processor, 8 gig of RAM, Nvidia 470gtx video and all the bells and whistles I can stuff into FSX. It works perfectly on my present system. So why upgrade? Good question. It looks like Microsoft is quickly trying to end life with Windows 7 and get the world onto Windows 8. My guess is to get more people who use tablets, notebooks, and smart phones using Windows as well.
I stuck with XP for 12 years and now with Windows 7 only a little over 1 year in my pc I'm not 100% sure about another upgrade. Perhaps you can sway me to one side of the fence or the other?
Thanks,
Rick
