whiteside Posted March 27, 2016 Share Posted March 27, 2016 Is Windows 10 working as well as win 7 home 64bit? Can you just upgrade or do you need to do a clean install?

ED Team BIGNEWY Posted March 27, 2016 ED Team Share Posted March 27, 2016 upgrade is fine, I saw an improvement, but opinions vary. If you do go ahead don't forget to deactivate your modules just in case. Forum rules - DCS Crashing?

PiedDroit Posted March 27, 2016 Share Posted March 27, 2016 (edited) Hello, for what it's worth, I did the upgrade to Win10 from Win7 Pro, I didn't deactivate any module or reinstall anything and it worked just fine. I can't tell if Win10 works better. It's same or better than Win7, no issues at all for me but you may get some depending on your hardware, do some resarch first. P.S.: Actually the only problem I had was with Saitek rudder, my mouse would freeze and beep when unplugging the rudder. After a while I did an in-depth cleanup of inf files, registry keys related to Saitek and it's all good now, I can unplug the rudder without fear of freezing my computer.

cichlidfan Posted March 27, 2016 Share Posted March 27, 2016 I strongly recommend going through every single driver and making sure to upgrade them to Win10 versions. Even though most may work fine after the upgrade, leaving the old drivers in place can come back to bite you 'very hard' when you least expect it.

Konovalov Posted March 27, 2016 Share Posted March 27, 2016 I did a clean install of win10 from win7 home. Downloaded setup onto USB stick, new fresh back up and then installed. No need to worry about remnant drivers or software. No regrets. Game performance seems about par with Win 7. And it's free.

If you don't do a clean install, there is leftover garbage floating around which may, or may not, impact performance. Removing and reinstalling drivers can help, though. Tbh, if you haven't done a clean install in a few years, even a clean install of the same OS can often improve things a bit.

BitMaster Posted March 28, 2016 Share Posted March 28, 2016 If not too late for it, you "must" upgrade to Win10 if you want to avoid paying for it. What you do once your System is recognized by Redmond is up to you. Again...if you do not own a W10 lic yet, you should go the Win7-Update-Win10-Upgrade Path to get the lic. What you do afterwards is totally up to you. Upgrade or Fresh Install, both works if you know what you are doing, if not either one is risky either...LoL Bit Gigabyte Aorus X570S Master - Ryzen 5900X - Gskill 64GB 3200/CL14@3600/CL14 - Asus 1080ti EK-waterblock - 4x Samsung 980Pro 1TB - 1x Samsung 870 Evo 1TB - 1x SanDisc 120GB SSD - Heatkiller IV - MoRa3-360LT@9x120mm Noctua F12 - Corsair AXi-1200 - TiR5-Pro - Warthog Hotas - Saitek Combat Pedals - Asus PG278Q 27" QHD Gsync 144Hz - Corsair K70 RGB Pro - Win11 Pro/Linux - Phanteks Evolv-X Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FlightControl Posted April 5, 2016 Share Posted April 5, 2016 Window switching is a problem in win 10. But only when you're developing missions and writing scripts in a text editor.

shaz56 Posted April 12, 2016 Share Posted April 12, 2016 I did a clean install from memory stick (win 7 pro to win 10) because of driver worries but now DCS crashes within minutes every time, had win 10 just a couple of days. i5 4670 3.4ghz(no oc), 16gb ram,asus gtx770, msi gaming 7 motherboard, all with latest drivers. Because it's a clean install microsoft says I can't revert back but surely I can reinstall win 7 from my original disc. Any ideas ? It's driving me crazy, I never ever crashed with 7, except for my flying skills, LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HiJack Posted April 13, 2016 Share Posted April 13, 2016 If you did not use a cloning software and built a new disk to upgrade you are basically lost. Only possibility is to backup all your data and clean everything out when installing windows 7 again, sorry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have stated in a previous post that because of updates, 1.5 merging with 2.0 etc that I will leave DCS for a while until it's more settled. Gives me an excuse to save for new GPU and Occulus, apart from DCS all my other software (games, utilities etc) are running very smoothly, thanks for your advice though. I will come back later.

dburne Posted April 13, 2016 Share Posted April 13, 2016 I did the upgrade install from Win 8.1 to Win 10 back in Dec, worked very well. I did download and install win10 drivers for all my devices. Everything working very well. My win 8.1 install was done as a clean install at the time.

HiJack Posted April 13, 2016 Share Posted April 13, 2016 Clean install is of course the best path but everyone should install Macrium Reflect and at least create a .iso file as a backup of their system drive before clearing everything out.

Zimmerdylan Posted April 14, 2016 Share Posted April 14, 2016 I actually hate Windowes10. When this system goes....It's MAC from now on. Hopefully ED will develop a MAC version of DCS by then.

Drona Posted April 14, 2016 Share Posted April 14, 2016 No issues here with DCS and Win 10 also, but I've reverted back to Win 8.1 because I just don't like Win 10 not giving me the choice to not download updates. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

firmek Posted April 14, 2016 Share Posted April 14, 2016 I didn't notice much of a difference in terms of stability when upgrading from Win 8.1 to 10. Some slight performance was noticeable across all games, however this was due to the DirectX 12. From that perspective the performance and stability in games (and in sims) is mostly related to the hardware drivers and grahpics library (DirectX, OpenGL) version. Consider that moving from Windows 7 to 10 can be a frustrating experience, maybe not so much of a shock as when moving from 7 to 8.1 but still the first impression may be that some features, especially configuration/administrations options are gone. At the same time a lot of bloatware is installed by default. Often it can't be also easily uninstalled.
