I wasn't sure this was the right place, so if it isn't, please feel free to move appropriately.
My Dell M1710 video card quit last week. The computer itself I got 2 1/2 years ago reconditioned, so rather than mess with trying to find a replacement card, (and potentially have something else quit), I decided to buy an M1730. It is currently in production.
I pulled the old hard drive and got a box-thingy so I can still use it. All seems fine with the data on it.
My question is this-
Is there a way to cut and paste FSX-SP2 from the old hard drive to the new? I'm not afraid to do some complex work to do it. I figure with Avsim going down the same day, it may be easier to move files than try to rebuild from scratch.
Also, the old machine was XP and the new is Vista- a "joy" I'm not really looking forward to based on some comments I've heard. What do I need to know about how FSX acts between operating systems?
Thanks!
