I last upgraded my rig around 2012 and it is not cutting edge now, but with a good NVIDIA graphics card, O/S and FS9 on separate Solid State Discs (SSDs), it gives me a smooth 60 fps with the FS9 sliders at max, with Flight Environment and Ground Environment plus complex add-on airports and live weather.
Of course, I conducted the upgrade to WIN 10 AFTER backing up the O/S disc and the FS9 disc to an external hard drive - just in case . . .
Overall, I find WIN10 slicker at large file handling, and giving slightly crisper graphics. It has also been rock steady. Nice to have such a pleasant upgrade from Mr Microsoft and FREE to!
