PLUTON Posted September 5 Posted September 5 Hello, Apart from formatting Windows 10 and then reinstalling Windows 11, what will happen to DCS when I reinstall it? What advice could you give me so I don't forget important things to do? Thank you for your help.
ED Team BIGNEWY Posted September 5 ED Team Posted September 5 Hi you should be fine if you are doing a upgrade of windows. Just do a cloud backup of your dcs folder in saved games. You may find the hardware ID's change for your input devices and you have to import them again from the backup. Forum rules - DCS Crashing?

PLUTON Posted September 5 Author Posted September 5 Thank you for your reply, Mr. BIGNEWY. I didn't know I could just upgrade! I thought I had to do a fresh install without upgrading my Windows 10 Pro. Thanks again, that will be easier.
ED Team BIGNEWY Posted September 5 ED Team Posted September 5 No problem, I did the upgrade option for my windows 11 install and it went smoothly. Forum rules - DCS Crashing?

PLUTON Posted September 5 Author Posted September 5 I have a license key for Windows 10 but I still bought a license key for Windows 11, which I paid €0.50 for at Cdiscount, so it cost practically nothing.

Thanks for the info. So, what exactly is the key I bought for? when you buy a computer assembled by someone else, normally it gets an OEM license installed on it. or if you built it yourself, you install an OEM license on it. that is a valid license for that computer only for its life. any OS upgrades are free. we are almost done at the office upgrading 700 laptops from 10 to 11. it is pretty painless. and di not pay a penny.

PLUTON Posted September 11 Author Posted September 11 Thanks for the info, gentlemen. So I'm going to make the jump to Windows 11. What problems might I encounter with DCS (joysticks, scooters, rudder pedals, MFDs, and other accessories installed on the PC)? Thanks for your help.

Thanks for your help. hello. the most important part is the upgrade to w11. after that, any issues should be easily alleviated. if you care to, go into you Saved Games\DCS (names vary), then make a copy of the CONFIG folder. that folder contains various files; including your control mappings. come back and we will help you though gotchas. good luck.
