Windows 10
-
Anyone tried X-65F and Win10 yet ?
-
UPDATE*
wiping and reinstalling just the hotas warthog driver did the trick, no issues whatsoever now.For me, running Falcon in win7 compatibility mode did the trick. I’m using the DX functions and hence I think there was a prob with DX12 incompatibility.
-
Come on give me a bit more credit then that… But yes I tried that…
Well I thought you would try it… but u know some times the simplest things slip our mind… Didn’t mean anything personal just trying to help.
-
Well I’ve got to say Arty, your comment helped my issue
When I read that, I checked compatibility mode and my issue was resolved, so thanks mate!

Some have reported inability to flash the Cougar HOTAS under Win 10. Is this a general issue or user-specific? Is flashing the ONLY issue – are the Cougar and CCP generally functional under Win 10?

Yes I know I was just saying I appreciate the help but this is totaly wierd as to why it will not work. I just need a solution soon or it is back to win 7

Microsoft said I cannot change to old ATI driver (that works) so I had to rollback to Windows 8.

Could you not just delete the driver in device manager and reinstall a different one?
-
negative. When I try to install the older driver I get message stating windows has determined I already have the best driver and rollback driver option is greyed out. Maybe if I could find the new one yet I am unable to open the catalyst control center also. Bogus!
-
That sucks. Were you signed in as an administrator for the win 10 install? If not the rollback driver option will be greyed out.
You probably were, just checking.
Were you on pro or home?

AMD supports there latest cards only. HD 7 and 8 series, as well as the R series. Older cards are SOL until they release 10 support for older cards.

Hey, I’ve just heard that with windows 10, it limits the upgrades you can do to your PC. For example, if you swap out the hard drive or RAM, this will be deducted from the amount of hardware swaps you can do. You have 3 in total otherwise MS deems your machine as a completely different machine and therefore you need a new copy of the OS.
Anyone else heard this?

Yes. Once you’ve upgraded to Windows 10 using the free upgrade offer, you will be able to reinstall, including a clean install, on the same device. You won’t need a product key for re-activations on the same hardware. If you make a meaningful change to your hardware, you may need to contact customer support to help with activation. You’ll also be able to create your own installation media like a USB drive or DVD, and use that to upgrade your device or reinstall after you’ve upgraded. To learn more,

When I upgrade a preinstalled (OEM) or retail version of Windows 7 or Windows 8/8.1 license to Windows 10, does that license remain OEM or become a retail license?**
If you upgrade from a OEM or retail version of Windows 7 or Windows 8/8.1 to the free Windows 10 upgrade this summer, the license is consumed into it. Because the free upgrade is derived from the base qualifying license, Windows 10 will carry that licensing too.
If you upgrade from a retail version, it carries the rights of a retail version.
If you upgrade from a OEM version, it carries the rights of a OEM version.
Full version (Retail):- Includes transfer rights to another computer.
- Doesn’t require a previous qualifying version of Windows.
- Expensive
Upgrade version (Retail): - Includes transfer rights to another computer.
- require a previous qualifying version of Windows.
- Expensive, but cheaper than full version
OEM :
OEM versions of Windows are identical to Full License Retail versions except for the following: - OEM versions do not offer any free Microsoft direct support from Microsoft support personnel
- OEM licenses are tied to the very first computer you install and activate it on
- OEM versions allow all hardware upgrades except for an upgrade to a different model motherboard
- OEM versions cannot be used to directly upgrade from an older Windows operating system
What happens if I change my motherboard?
As it pertains the OEM licenses this will invalidate the Windows 10 upgrade license because it will no longer have a previous based qualifying license which is required for the free upgrade. You will then have to purchase a full retail Windows 10 license. If the base qualifying license (Windows 7 or Windows 8.1) was a full retail version, then yes, you can transfer it.
15. UPGRADES. To use upgrade software, you must first be licensed for the software that is eligible for the upgrade. Upon upgrade, this agreement takes the place of the agreement for the software you upgraded from. After you upgrade, you may no longer use the software you upgraded from

Ah, thanks MB. I have heard that if you were to completely change your hardware, then you can reinstall win7/8.1 and then go through the whole upgrade to 10, then clean install of 10 again. That will sort it out. What a faff!

Just upgraded from Win7 (64bit) to Win10 Pro. No issues at all (minor error warning from Fraps that Dx9 is not up-to-date… but Fraps works fine?) … everything else works like a champ. Love the new front-end on Win 10. BMS works fine no issues at all.
