I haven't done a fresh install since I got Win 7 when it first came out, So I upgraded to WIN 10. I had the USB issues with rearranging, and not recognizing, and was forced to unplug and replug my sticks. And Saitek Profiler software has not been updated to work with WIN 10 and I have a feeling it won't be either for my X-45, maybe the X-52 though.
So I bought a 480 gig SSD for the first time and have spent the last thee nights making a triple boot.
WinXP for all my really old progs I use and Hardware.
Win 7 dedicated to Gaming and my perifiles for such
Win 10 for normal use, and play with while waaiting for it to support my toys.
By the way Jabo, I had to switch SATA ports before my PC would consistanly see the SSD. But that Port saw my old drive just fine???
