Well the time has come to up grade the old girl with a new Motherboard, CPU, Ram, Hard drive and Graphics card.
I am also changing from XP to Windows 7, my question being new to 7 is there anything I should know about installing FSX on this OP system, before I start

Just felt like throwing the screen shot in for no particular reason

Chris great screen , no issues at all , fits Flight Simulation XP like Win7 a leather flying glove onto a hand

... I need a new PC now to be up with the in-crowd

It is a nice shot...
Probably a smart time to upgrade to WIN 7 as XP support ceases at the end of the year.
My fear is that I will soldier on with XP SP3 (which BTW runs FS9 as if made for it) until WIN 8 is the required OS.
Then FS9 won't work any more, perish the thought.

Don't forget to keep your floppy disk drive lubricated, now...

From my readings and experiences I would recommend that you use W7 64 bit (Home premium as the minimum not home basic) and that you install FSX in it's own folder on the drive and not in programs or Programs (x86). There is also a quirk when it comes to installing scenery.
I suggest you read here.
