mibo Posted May 1, 2023 Posted May 1, 2023 Want to upgrade to new motherboard 13th gen with ddr5 and cpu. Have dcs on a separate ssd and window 10 also on separate ssd. So maybe fresh new install is not necessary? Eventually put window 10 on M2 drive instead of ssd. Does this make a difference? And if it is window 11 ? Do I have to do something more than saving user files? Thanks for your help
draconus Posted May 8, 2023 Posted May 8, 2023 You don't need to reinstall Windows - the new mobo drivers just need to be installed and that's it, even better if you can do it before changing the hardware. If the M2 drive is of Nvme type it'll be much faster than standard SSD so go for it if you can. Windows 11 is not officially supported but a lot of users run DCS on it no problems.

mibo Posted June 18, 2023 Author Posted June 18, 2023 (edited) After cloning my ssd with OS Windows 10 to new M2 nvme, DCS and MSFS2020 work as they are on their own ssd. But there is one problem. With my previous cpu i7-7700 I had no issues with my Reverb G2 I had about 30+ FPS. 1. After changing to i7-13700 my VR frame rates are now strangely below 20 ! No settings have been changed. Is it possible that Window 10 is not working well with the new cpu? If I am not in VR, frames are about 70. Any suggestions? 2. Want to migrate to W11 but have to install from scratch as my system is not able to enable secure boot (Asus says it is not working because previous OS had been be installed in legacy mode!) The only solution is to install W11 from scratch. 3. Before doing this I have seen on forums that Reverb G2 has problems with Windows Mixed Reality. But what worries me most is point 1 above with low framerates. 4. What are your suggestions and steps to do if I install W11 from scratch but have DCS and MSFS2020 both on separate ssd. I very much appreciate your opinions and suggestions. THANKS Edited June 18, 2023 by mibo
