Installing XP 11 on new computer

[MSFS Ralf]

Hi pilots,

my new PC is on the way. Currently the only plane installed is the Hotstart Challenger. I’d like to keep and transfer all my plane and joystick settings to the new computer. Is it safe to make a complete back up on an external HD and copy it to the new computer? Or should I make a clean install and restore some files? If so, what files do I need to keep my joystick settings? Axis, sensitivity and mapping to the buttons would be most important.

Full backup/copy of X-Plane should be fine. However if you’re using the non-beta version, I recommend uninstalling the Chally first, then reinstalling it on the new PC. You’ll also have to log into Gizmo again. You can have 3 PCs active at once for X-Aviation.

Ok, yes, XP11 has the non-beta Challenger installed. Will uninstall before copying over. Thanks. Looks as if you are almost everywhere to help. Very much appreciated.
