Windows 7 to Windows 10 copy and paste DCS files over ?

[Basco1]

Guys,I have a new PC with Windows 10 installed on it,......can I simply copy and paste both my Eagles main root folder and then my User/saved games/DCS folder into their relevant sections and fire up?

 

I am not changing the monitor/keyboard or mouse,so I am hoping I can just do the above,obviously all of my sim hardware such as joystick/throttle and rudder pedals will have to be set upon the new PC.

 

Any help or advice would be warmly appreciated,thank you :)

 

PS New build as signature below.

you can copy the files over, including your DCS saved games folder but if it was me on a fresh machine I would do a clean install, otherwise you will have to create your short cuts manually for starting, repairing and updating DCS

 

PS

dont forget to deactivate your keys on the old machine if you are no longer going to use it.

I did the deactivate/activate dance for my modules on Monday (I have every module except Gazelle,F5 and Spitfire). What a hassle.

Agreed next time I will just loose out on an activation save the time to do something else:doh:
