No OS should need ‘supporting’. I never needed support in years. With updates turned off.
And new installs are always ‘smoother’. The OS makes no difference. Snake oil.

Turn off updates and UAC, and you could do anything you like with FS9 in Windows 7. Stick it in the X86 folder and it worked great (I found it ran better there then anywhere else).

W10 is now such a battle for every single program to get it to work well. The contact freezes and pauses when opening folders in general is awful. I’d go back to 7 in a heartbeat.
