Спасибо, Иван, не знал, но в моей ситуации все намного сложнее. Так как я менял названия разделов диска и их размеры, то даже наверняка на оригинальном образе винды с минимальным количеством установленного софта появятся конфликты, поэтому рисковать не стану и поставлю все опять таки полностью по новой.
Менять разделы можно также из под ОС даже не имея последней на харде. Я надеюсь, ты на ССД ничего не делал с разделами?
В общем делаешь так: из под ОС создаешь карту разделов, какую тебе надо, ставишь винду на ССД, ставишь обновления (да, это долго), ставишь софт, из под ОС создаешь образ всего диска С, влючая служебный раздел 100мб — там загрузочный файл для ОС. После этого можешь уже ставить сим и всё остальное — база у тебя есть. В случае проблем просто восстанавливаешь образ и ставишь сим по-новой.
Если ты любишь перемещать папки «документы», «музыка», «видео», «изображения» на раздел, отличный от системного (как я ), то это нужно делать после того, как ты создашь образ.
Образ загрузочного диска с акронисом я тебе пришлю в личку.

It should, I can’t see why not.
I’m running FSX on W10.

I just upgraded to win10 and wish I hadn’t
The program is hiding behind a black screen.
If I press control alt and delete to get up the task manager and then come of task manager FS9 reapears.
Alt and Tab seem to do the same thing.
You cannot see the selected aircraft.
Does any know how to correct this.
I have just downloaded loads of new aircraft and scenery and am now sick that I jumped into downloading microsofts free offer of an upgrade

Microsoft installed a video card drivers of it’s own choice along with the W10 download.
Uninstall it and download the latest (for your card) for W10 and see if that helps.

I checked on the acer website today. my laptop is 4 years old and the downloads for the model only go up to win 7 which came on my laptop.
Someone posted this on another website but I cannot find what they have posted. i could not see the preview as it says.
See below:
Try this it worked for me in Windows 10 Pro, go to your settings, then display, find in the display Preview DirectX 10, Enable it, i looked in previous games and found that windows 10 disables it for some reason, re-enabling it again fixed my issue in FSX, should help in FS2004, i used to get the Black screen and Blank Aircraft preview and the above fix fixed it for me, but the only way you can get ingame is to alt-Tab out and tab back in.

Just downloaded the no cd application from your website and it worked.
This was from advice on the microsoft community.
The main menu is intact and chosen aircraft is visible.
Only problems are when exiting a flight the screen goes black and I have to hit (alt) and (enter) to go back to main menu.
The flight window has the menu bar at the top which has to be changed in the view tab to full screen.
I have not checked all aircraft but did have an error with sound files on the harrier II plus. Can’t get rid of menu bar with this aircraft also.
Others seem OK for now
Will let you know if I find any more niggles

My beloved FS2004 has run perfectly, even with a Shackleton and WW2 fighter add-ons,for years. Now that I have «upgraded» by purchasing Windows 10, it does not work. My very old Combat Flight Simulator WW2, my Combat Flight Simulator 3 and my FSX with five WW2 add-ons still work perfectly. All I get when trying to run the FS2004 program is «Please login with administrator privileges and try again». I have tried all the compatibility possibilities with no success. Please help! I am certain that I am not alone in this situation.

Try right clicking on the flight icon and choose run as administrator.

Mr Guest,
If you are trying to run with disc 4, you need to run with the nocd patch and it should work fine.

Hi there, Radarman and all the others who helped me in the past. I am flying CFS 1 (Europe Series) and CFS 3 on Windows 10 without any problems. I have recently been able to get a copy of CFS 2. It installs fine, but when clicking to play, I get the message: «Please login with administrator privileges and try again.» The screen then goes blank. Do you have any suggestions as to what to do to get this baby running? Kind regards from John Beck in beautiful Cape Town, South Africa.

See how this works.
On the CFS2.exe in your in your main folder or on the desktop,, right click on it, choose Properties then Compatibility, check the box at the bottom beside «Run this program as an administrator», then Apply, then OK.

As many fellow simmers have done, I have updated from Win7 to Win10. Everything worked normally for a while. At a time I started having problems when flying online (I would not see other aircraft). As the re-installation of the Squawkbox did not work, I decided to re-install FS9. And here starts my problem. I have uninstalled FS9 and then proceeded with the installation from the disks. As to apply the NOCD patch we would have first to install the FS9.1 update, I did so. And here comes the problem: the update tells me something as: «It seems that FS9.1 is already installed, so no action is taken». The problem is that, when running FS9, in the About box I still read FS9.0. What should I do? Any suggestions?

Remove or rename BACKUP folder from your sim folder. Then run again 9.1 update. Now it will get installed

Hi all,
I feared the worst but must say that FS2004 works OK in my new W10 PC. Subject to installing NOCD patch see link below. Also have upgraded to v9.1. As mentioned, alt and enter needs to be pressed to see aircraft preview, but no big deal.

Some helpful hints I compiled:
To my delight, I got FS 2004 working successfully on my new Windows 10 laptop and would like to help those who are contemplating about going to W 10………. GO FOR IT!
My new HP laptop has good capacities, better than the rigs available 10 years ago, but it is not a powerful horse. It has Windows 10 Home 64 with 16GB DDR4 memory, i7-6500U processor and NVIDIA GeForce 940MX card (2GB DDR3). (Note that I am using FS 2004 for over 10 years and have collected number of add-on airports and sceneries, also many aircraft (both AI and flyable). Many of my airports were modified using ADE and many AI flight plans created using the amazing T-Tools. Therefore, my original 2.69GB plain FS 2004 now has 36GB capacity.
I had this FS running great on Vista Laptop with 2. GB memory, T9400 Intel processor and 512 MG NVIDIA GeForce 9600M GT.)
So, having mentioned all this, these are few points relating to the FS 2004 running on W10, also some of my experience leading to the successful install:
Prerequisites:
• First and most important under the assumption that your FS runs OK on your old PC. Copy your ENTIRE FS2004 folder from your old PC onto a separate hard drive! To copy my 36GB takes close to two hours!
• Second have the four original installation CD discs available!
• Finally, have your new W10 PC Note that I have no experience with installing FS2004 on the old rigs upgraded to W10! (Judging from the chat rooms there might be some issues with these)
Step by step procedure to install FS2004 on the new W10 PC:
• Load the four CD discs using either built in or external CD drive (I got a warning message from Microsoft – unknown origin (strange) – so have O.K.d the install. Install it (custom!) to your own folder on C drive, NOT to the Program Files, which I thing is a default. I named my folder FS2004.
• Answer NO at the end of install to run the FS, instead remove No 4 CD.
• Update the FS to v9.1. The update is available for the download in below link. It is an easy install placing the program file to your new FS folder and running it. https://flyawaysimulation.com/downloads/files/2795/flight-simulator-2004-update-v91/
• Get No CD Patch from below download. Again, an easy install to replace the fs9.exe file by the new downloaded file. https://flyawaysimulation.com/downloads/files/15244/microsoft-flight-simulator-2004-v91-no-cd-patch/
• Run FS (no need for the disc 4 installed, you got the patch!) and you find out that there is no aircraft preview in the opening screen just black field. It does not bother me because I can see and select the aircraft I want to fly in the drop-down. But if you want, hit ALT and ENTER and the aircraft picture appears. Test FS for basic functionality, take a quick flight with Cessna or similar.
• This is a good practice! Copy the entire contents of your newly installed FS folder to a back-up hard drive. (You can call it RAW FS9). It should have 2.69GB, so should not take long to copy. It is good to have the original files available!
Now to bring you newly created FS in W10 to the standard of your FS from your former PC. Hook up to your W10 PC your external drive where you backed-up your FS folder. Delete all files from the following folders in your newly installed FS folder in your W10 PC, and copy in the corresponding files from your back-up hard drive into:
1. Addon Scenery folder, if you added or modified the scenery.
2. Aircraft folder, if you added or modified aircraft.
3. Effects folder, if you added or modified effects.
4. Gauges folder, if you added or modified gauges.
5. Modules folder, if you added or modified modules.
6. Scenery sub-folders folders (Afri, Asia, Aust, Eure, Eurw, Namc, Name, Namw, Ocen). This may not be necessary unless you modified some airport files or added flattens in your original FS. If you know where, just replace these files in given folders.
7. Scenery/World/Scenery folder. This is where your traffic files and altitude corrections are.
8. Sound folder, if you modified, added sounds or used Edit Voice pack.
9. Texture folder, if you modified or added textures.
10. Replace Scenery.cfg file in the main FS folder with the original back-up file! (This is important, so that you do not have to activate all your sceneries!) Note that the sceneries listed in this file should match the sceneries in your Addon Scenery folder otherwise you get a message if some sceneries are listed in Scenery.cfg file and are missing in the Addon folder!
…………………………………………………………………………………………………………………
Few advices or enhancing your FS2004, making it more realistic and mainly reduce those enjoying stutters (momentary screen freezes, apparently caused due to the old program running on the new higher capacity PC):
Get FS Environment 9 v1.3 from AVSIM Misc files library:
http://library.avsim.net/index.php
In this document are great enhancements available to make your FS more realistic and mainly! The FS9 Optimization section which changes some numbers in your Roaming FS9.cfg file (Located in your Windows 10 C drive/Users/Your Name/AppData/Roaming/Microsoft/FS9 folder). This greatly reduced my stutters. (Note that the TextureMaxLoad=10 needs to be added as a separate line! The creators of this great piece of info forgot to mention it,) Also to see your AppData file you need to set your files options to show the Hidden Files and Folders!
………………………………………………………………………………………………………………..
In general, you do not need to go for high FPS. I run at 25 FPS and the flights are nice and fluid. For info below are the settings I use. These give me great scenery and fluid flying (clearly, you might experiment with those):
Display:
Scenery:
Terrain Mash Complexity 100, Terrain Texture Size High, Terrain Detail Land Only, Water effects Low, Special Effects Detail Medium, Scenery Complexity Very Dense, Add-on Dynamic Scenery Unchecked, Ground Scenery Cast Shadows, Sun Glare and Lens Flare all Unchecked (these do not do too much and save capacity)
Aircraft:
Global Aircraft Quality Low, Virtual Cockpit Gauge Quality High, In the rest only the Landing lights checked, rest unchecked.
Weather:
Sight Distance 70 MI, Cloud Draw Distance 40 MI, 3D Cloud Percentage 50, Detailed Clouds Checked, Cloud Coverage Density High.
Hardware:
Target Frame Rate 25, Render to Texture Checked, Transform and Lightning Checked, Anti-Aliasing Unchecked. MIP Quality 4, Hardware Render Lights 6, Global Max Texture Size High.
Realism and Weather:
Rate at which weather changes over time Medium.
Additional note. Since I fly using the keyboard the F keys on my new laptop are active only when the FN key is pressed. This is enjoying because for example to handle flaps using F keys you need to hold the FN key as well, you can fix this by using the Assignments in Settings to change the Flaps from F keys to a single key on your new PC keyboard. I assigned “D” key to flaps down sequential and “T” key to flaps up sequential.
Good luck and keep them flying!

Sounds like a scenery issue of the default flight. If you can identify it (the scenery) of the default flight, de-activate it. You can deactivate it manually before starting FS by opening the scenery.cfg file (in your main FS folder). Open the file in notepad and you will se the sceneries listed there. Looks something like this:
[Area.053]
Title=Hondumesh
Local=Addon Scenery\Hondumesh
Remote=
Active=TRUE
Required=FALSE
Layer=53
Hypothetically!! if this would be the scenery you need to deactivate. Delete the whole entry in the notepad. BUT then renumber the following sceneries with the follow-up numbers for Area and Layer. So that the numbers run consecutively.
Then try to start FS again. If it was the scenery issue, it should work.
Good luck
Flight Sim Questions that are closely related to this…
Have a look here..
To INSTALL FS2004 to your Windows 10 PC
1. Install into C:\ NOT into it’s default C:\Program Files
2. Install the 9.1 updatel
3. Install the 9.1 nocd patch (replace the existing FS9.exe with the patch)
4. Right-click the FS9.exe, select Properties
5. Select Compatibility mode, & select XP
6. At bottom, then select ‘Run as Administrator’
7. Double click the desktop icon
To COPY & PASTE from your OLD PC to your NEW Windows 10 PC
From your OLD PC:
1. Copy the whole FS2004 folder to a portable drive
2. Open the Documents Folder & copy the ‘Flight Simulator Files’ folder to a portable drive
3. Find the FS2004.cfg file & copy it to your portable drive
This is normally found in C:\Users\xxx(your user)\appdata\Roaming\Microsoft\FS9
An easy way to find this FS2004.cfg is to download EVERYTHING from
www.voidtools.com
(This is a very fast desktop search engine that will find the file as you type)
Once all that is done:
1. Plug the portable drive into your NEW PC
2. Open the C:\ folder & copy & paste the copied FS2004 folder therein
3. Right-click the FS2004.exe & ‘Send to Desktop (create shortcut) You now will have a Desktop FS2004 icon
4. Copy & paste the ‘Flight Simulator Files’ folder into your ‘Documents’ folder
5. Right-click the FS9.exe, select Properties
6. Select Compatibility mode, & select XP
7. At bottom, then select ‘Run as Administrator’
8. Double click the desktop icon
THEN
9. Copy & Paste the FS2004.cfg file into C:\Users\xxx(your user)\appdata\Roaming\Microsoft\FS9
10. Double click the desktop icon
NOTE: I’m interchanging FS9 with FS2004. Be consistent with your install!

My problem is that when i try to run the simulator on fullscreen (1600-900) the screen goes black and it starts flickering and blue rotating wheel appears, but, when i press alt-enter it goes windowed and everything is back to normal. Even tough, i recently reinstalled windows 10 (completely), before this, FS2004 went smooth, without any problems, i could have fullscreen for how long i wanted and the menu was functional too. Now for some reason it does not work. If anyone has any tips of fixes, i would be really glad if you would write it down bellow.

Gee thanks for your reply MONTHS after I needed help. Not sure if your remedy will
work but I will keep it handy just in case Sounds like more few technical moves than most of us should try.. The REAL answer as I have tried to pass on to as many as I could…but didn’t have the proper format. MS had a security update years ago KB3086255 that conflicted with FS 2004.
To make FS2004 work all you need to do is delete that update. One simple step.
It has a tendency to reappear from time to time based on updates. BUT
deleting it will will let you run on Windows 7.

1903 caused my fs2004 to crash to desktop unexpectedly when selecting airports. It also messed with some of the vector displays. I uninstalled fs2004, and reinstalled, updated to fs9.1, and used the fs9_1_nocd, and all is now well.

1903 didn’t cause problems for me — but I didn’t run it until after the update that came «after» the 1903 update. Already, had it updated to fs9.1 and the fs9_1_nocd as well.
Updated by right-clicking on the FS2004 Icon and changed:
Nothing more was done. Hope that helps in making a safe decision.
EDIT: actually changed the reduced color mode to 16-bit (65536) color

In addition beware that 1903 has the ability to cause issues (understated) to older motherboards as it doesn’t carry all the key older drivers and therefore can knock out the graphics cards and processors within days. However, in discussion with MS level 3 they have assured me that this has been corrected and should not present issues (take from that what you will).
Consider also some of the graphics cards carrying Photoshop and the like . Screen setting with 2050 designation should be changed in settings to SRGBIEC1966-2.1.

Consider also some of the graphics cards carrying Photoshop and the like . Screen setting with 2050 designation should be changed in settings to SRGBIEC1966-2.1.
Er, wot?

No, I’m sorry, that list isn’t infinite or anything like. I’d like to know if my older hardware might be affected but that link doesn’t even mention it. I’ve seen too many «everybody knows Windows Update Xxyyz changes video drivers to XGA and rewires your motherboard to an electric toaster » threads to take them very seriously. I had hoped you were going to point me to a useful link or thread, but my PC keeps running – including running Photoshop – so I’m fairly relaxed for now.
Never mind.

There are a number of posts Ive made back in Jan 2019 about the issue as it took out my older motherboard on a self build then, following Msoft intervention they applied a mirror and found it went don a second time within 24 hours. Passed to level 3 and they confirmed that older motherboard were susceptible to the issue. despite my best endeavours I lost the board and eventually the hard drive as they inadvertently over wrote all my files on teh wrong drove (D and not C
The issue of 1903 was not published by MS in 2018 (june) as they felt it was not an issue but then suddenly found loads of calls and community entries were older machine fell over —

Tom these are just a few of the still happening issues : most are older devices — level 3 at Microsoft (Rinna) worked with me for 2 weeks and found that some boards were having problems and if caught earlier enough could be wound back — HOWEVER, as many may known stopping updates in Win10 is now an issue as even their level 2 teams are struggling to counter the install command. New machines (12 months oldish) are fine but its some issue with the Bios incompatibility on old machines — the graphics are issue can come from NAVIDIA who were also complaining that many of their longer serving customer suddenly found cards not responding as the driver was absent of corrupted on the update features — my old machine was about 8 years old and doing a grand job until 1903 dropping. We attempted to force a block on the updates but sure enough in it came and back to start. If your machine is no effected GREAT!. But the issue comes in that MS really didnt know what boards in total were going to fail . IN Jan 2019 they released a new version of 1903 but didnt change the release number (no guesses why)
I posted simply to make people aware that if something strange started happening that it might not be viral or they hardware failing.

Tom’s Hardware is something I can work with, thanks; I’ve used that site for tech info many times over the years. So far I read problems are with much older gear than mine and AMD processors and chipsets are more likely to have problems. Being a Real Square I always built Intel rigs, but we’ll see…
