  1. While it is possible to transfer everything, Windows and GBS and DCS, I'd rather install all from fresh - on a new system. After installing it, copy the relevant files/folders with settings over. (Though there's a chance your game controllers on the new motherboard's USB ports may require some extra attention ... not sure. Partitions? One could argue to have Windows on C:-drive, and the rest somewhere else. I have that. But not sure why. Sure, if one needs to re-install Windows, it might make it easier to only format C:-Drive and leave the rest alone. Still, one might need to re-install the rest... I dunno. Downside of multiple partitions/drives is that you have multiple drives that may run out of free space!

  2. All valid points FT A fresh Windows install is best IMO on a separate drive from everything. Once I have it set up with everything I make an image of it, just in case the HD or Windows itself crashes. Then it's simpleton to bring a new drive back up and running all your stuff again from the image. The Space thing is Spot On 🤣

  3. Numpad (10$)+ GoPro car suction cap mount (around $35 new). I bought this suction cap in a pawn shop for less (don't remember for how much, around $20), used it once and never again. I simply superglued the back of the numpad to it without any preparation. It's sturdy and the GoPro mount is for real (they put these on airplanes and sports cars and whatnot).

  4. Back up your old installs! You will still need to start the installs like new to write into your Windows registry, once the initial is done just copy over your old files into the new installs, and then let both games run their file checks and it should be good to go. If not my advice was cheap LOL

  5. My new rig has arrived! Well, the components that'll make up my new rig; some assembly required of course. May need some pointers and recommendations with regards to the software side of things - transferring windows, setting up new partitions, user folders etc. Also, can I copy across GBS and DCS installs or will these need to be fresh downloads? I'll probably tackle this Monday afternoon / evening because I don't think I'll have time to sort it all before the campaign tomorrow night.
