FSX Installation - No CD-Drive but I have the Product Key

(Read Title)

Hi.

I recently got a new laptop to replace my old, broken one. Unfortunately, the new one is lacking a CD-drive. I purchased the Microsoft Flight Simulator X - Deluxe Edition quite some time back in a 'hard-copy' form, meaning I had to use 2 CD's and a product
key to install it each time.

I was wondering if there is any way to download FSX online and then validate purchase (proof of purchase) with the product key I own, as I am not keen to purchase an external CD reader to process the disks.

Thanks.

 

MS flight simulator X

Hi,

hope that's easy

Check also that on reinstalling FSX, the FSX icon is not set in the Windows 10 Start menu:

A last tr****th FSX not appearing in the programs' list left of the Start Menu, in Microsoft Games, nor the FSX icon with other programs' ones in it (usually the FSX SDK is present in the program list). That is fixed like: just open C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start
Menu\Programs\Microsoft Games (note! ProgramData is a hidden item which needs to be made visible with the View tab of the File Explorer; check Hidden items). In there you will find already the Microsoft Flight Simulator X SDK folder as the Microsoft Flight
Simulator X one is missing. Thus just create a new folder named with that name. Thence go to C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Games\Microsoft Flight Simulator X, right click the fsx app and create a shortcut for it (which Windows will ask for creating on the
desktop). Then move that shortcut into C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Microsoft Games\Microsoft Flight Simulator X. FSX now appears both in the programs' list into Microsoft Games, and like a icon on the Start Menu

 

flight simulator 2016

I am looking at flight simulator 2016, some of the ads says its from mircosoft,

I am wondering if its a upgraded version from fsx, if not are they working on a updated version of flight simulator, since fsx if over ten years old
