[RESOLVED] New computer, not sure how to switch P3D over.

Post by N697DT »

I currently have an Asus i7-2660, 3.4 ghz, 12Gig RAM, GTX 1050Ti, with an SSD that Windows 10 and P3D v4.4 are installed on. It also has a 1TB hard drive with not much on it. '
My new computer is an Asus i7-7700, 3.6 to 4.2 ghz, GTX 1050, 16 Gig RAM and a 1TB hard drive. No SSD.
So I'm wondering how to take my current ssd and install it to the new computer. I know you can't just unplug it from one and plug it in the other and take off flying. I also heard I would need to install all of my flight software back on the ssd once in the new computer. I have a lot of add-ons. And can I just swap the GTX 1050 out of the new computer into the old computer while taking the 1050Ti out of the old to the new. I really don't have many files I care about saving as I mainly use my desktop for P3D v4.4 Any suggestions? Thanks

Hello N697DT

You will need to at least uninstall \ deactivate the Prepar3D v4 Client before Installing your current SSD into your new computer. After this you can then reinstall and activate the Client again.

Please see the topic below for more Information

Let us know how you get on

Note: Also, When making major changes to your computer (as you are) you will need to uninstall any Prepar3D Add On or Windows App software that has a license attached to it, to save you running into activation Issues.

Thanks Poppet. I deactivated my p3D Client and my PMDG, A2A, etc.
