Can I run FSX?
I've been planning on getting FSX, but idk if I will be able to run it, because I have a dirty laptop-potato. Specs: Graphics Cards (2): NVIDIA GeForce 940M, Intel HD Graphics 5500. Proccessors (4): Intel Core i7-5500U CPU 2.40 GHz. Are there any other specifications I need to list? (P.S. I'm not very smart with computer stuff.)

That's comparable with my laptop, and I can run it pretty good. As long as you are realistic with settings it will run fine. I would describe my settings as 2/3rds toward max settings, with reduced Ai aircraft and reduced road traffic.

You never said how much RAM you have installed.

You won't need to run it at minimum. Try a medium setting with low Ai traffic and road traffic. Test it out then move your sliders a bit higher If ok.

1 thing: the spec from Steam are under "Vista&XP"with Small screens 2004-2006.You have to add:FSX:2GHZ+ASN+Addon's=2ghz+?+?+?=5,6,7&?:Each program in combination require more&more and we are in 2016-17almost.If you want a good system for FSX buy the last generation components (Tower),but i now!! it's BIG MONEY!!! Don't buy "Aerofly"& any Discover addons(Arabia,Europe,VFR Britain&other) i'm your's and friends for advice. Bye
