The current Q &amp; A's are conflicting as to this being an update or new installation. Which is it? Will it run on Windows 8?

This was a new installation for us. It was for an older machine running WIN7 to stay compatible with Access database in Office 97. I think it would probably run in WIN 8 but have not tried it.

No it will not be upgraded to Windows OS8. Do not buy it now many app will not work.

Probably, it runs on XP. It needs speed for all the graphics. Processor and video card. Runs fine on my hopped up old XP machine. The new edition basically needs a high end gaming machine. Cool but not needed. MS generally runs somewhat old programs well, sometimes better. I am not an IT person.

Hi! It means there is a more recent edition available, but this one is still fully functional. This one is the 7.0 upgrade which was first available in 2002. The platforms it called for when originally produced were Windows NT / 98 / 2000 / Me / XP / 95. I believe it's the last one they made before it became the CD versions. I don't know a lot more about it than that unfortunately. The copy I am offering is brand new - still shrinkwrapped. I hope this answers your questions.

It's 8.1, came installed already. I am really happy with 8.1. I'm sorta dreading windows 10. I've gotten used to 8.1, and I really really like it.

I have installed it on Windows 8 and it works perfectly and flawlessly. Personally, Windows 8 is pretty alright, but I really miss the start menu and there is one hell of a learning curve.

The game will play on Win 8. However, if you are having problems with slow and jerky movements, you have a videoproblem. I have this problem on my laptop, but not on the desktop with a good video card.

I have loaded it on a computer with Windows 8.1 & it seems to run fine. I am in the process of moving data from one PC to the new one, so I can't say for certain just yet that the process will be successful. But so far, as for loading it & running the program, it seems to work fine.

Yes... Currently running it right now on Windows 8. I believe we are running it in XP compatibility mode. I should note that I am using a Windows 7 emulator on that computer as I have found Windows 8 not conducive to being productive. The emulator just gives me back my start menu and multiple windows on screen, but it's still Windows 8.

It was made for Vista and before (think 98). I did not find any updates for anything after Vista on their website. In fact, Vista was the so-called update. If there was any offer of a solution and you find it let me know.

The one I received I had them upgrade it to Windows 7 64 bit version. ( they did it for free). Windows 7 runs nice on this computer. Windows 7 is so much better and faster I think then Vista so try to get one with windows 7.

Yes, it can run on windows 8. Thats what my computer is. If you really want this, I recommend getting it very much.

(probably a little late to reply) i would assume if it were Windows 7 capable at all, it should run against anything Windows 7.. including 64 bit. that's a good question.. it really is sad that the consumer can't just pick one to their fancy and expect it to run D:they should all run on anything with today's day and age, go figure.

Will FSX run with windows 8? The answer is very much, yes! I have windows 8 and now windows 8.1 and there has been no problem with either one. However, I see the picture of FS 2004 on the boxthat you sent with the question and that I've had a little difficulty with that program but it is suppose to be able to run as well. Thanks and if you have any further questions, feel free to ask. I've been a real life pilot for more years than I like to think of but I do know airplanes and associate subjects. Thanks, Wil Sanders

Sadly I think it's obsolete. Last machine I ran it on was about 7 years old. It won't work on my Windows 7 or newer XP. But I think they are 32
