Hawkeye60 Posted June 27, 2016 Share Posted June 27, 2016 I am getting a new pc for dcs. I currently have release and ob on a ssd. Can I move the ssd to the new pc after deactivating all the modules and then re-activate? Would it be better to start fresh? I would like to keep my settings but fear there may be issues with the config files. Thanks for your attention. "Yeah, and though I work in the valley of Death, I will fear no Evil.

droopy114 Posted June 27, 2016 Share Posted June 27, 2016 So you have 2 SSD (i mean one for OS and the other for DCS)? If not, and if you are going to change motherboard/CPU/RAM, keep in mind you should do a fresh install of Windows+drivers, otherwise you will have some troubles...

Hawkeye60 Posted June 27, 2016 Author Share Posted June 27, 2016 This a new pc. I want to move the ssd from the old pc to the new pc. The os will stay the same, win 7 64bit, but all new hardware. Thank you "Yeah, and though I work in the valley of Death, I will fear no Evil. For where there is one, there is always three.

droopy114 Posted June 27, 2016 Share Posted June 27, 2016 If it's a new hardware, then it's better to format your SSD (BTW you have the option when installing Windows) then reinstall all the stuff after (drivers, DCS, etc......) you are sure to have a clean system.Concerning your actual config files, you can save them, and after your new install, reapply them.This is very useful for joystick profile....

rassy7 Posted June 28, 2016 Share Posted June 28, 2016 deactivating all the modules and then re-activate? Hold the phone! You can deactivate and reactivate? Is this for real? How does one accomplish this? I have been terrified to attempt Win10 again for fear of burning through my remaining "activations," even though they've only ever been installed on one computer, the same computer, by the same owner for life. I've also been looking at a new PC, so this is great info.

rassy7 Posted June 28, 2016 Share Posted June 28, 2016 WoW! Have no idea how I've been playing DCS for this long and didn't come across this. I am breathing so much easier now. Thanks! Guess I can look at the new PC now too.
