Updating from Windows 7 to Windows 10

Post by gentfarmer »

I currently run FS19 on Windows 7 but will be updating to Windows 10 soon, do I need to do anything to the currently installed FS19?
i ask because there appears to be 2 different v1.4.1 patches for Win 7 and Win 8 & 10.
Thanks

Hello, my suggestion is:
- install clear game
- update it to latest version
- set up graphics, turn off
- move your inputbindings, mods, saves to current installation
- enjoy...

It's exactly the same patch just packaged differently. Windows 7 can't open .img files as standard while Windows 10 can. That's the only reason why the Windows 7 patch comes as a zip file.

Don't worry, both downloads contain exactly the same files once extracted.

Thanks *thumbsup* . I will back everything up, just in case.
