So the time has come for me to get my new PC (HP Pavilion Elite e9180t) - which I got today and promptly re-imaged it for Win 7 Ultimate 64-bit. Now the question and the difficult decisions...

Being that I will be going from 32-bit to 64-bit, is it recommended to do fresh installs of my FS applications or would they work if I just do mirror copies..

Yes I know it sounds like a silly question but so many of the older applications that I have, I no longer have the installers for (AS 6.5, My Traffic, FS Pax)

If fresh installs are the way - then what is the consensus of even - GULP - putting FS04 back on and instead going with FSX (which I also have) with FS Pax X and getting ASE for example.

Thanks for any and all commentaries, suggestions and advice.

I'd honestly recommend a fresh re-install of all of it, as it doesn't copy registrations, etc. A fresh install is always better smile


You can always get your AS 6.5 download links and such from the company as long as you still have the details -- shouldn't be an issue to contact them asking for a new dl link.
