You don't have to lose your work, because documents created by you can surely be saved separately and restored later in a new a Windows installation, there are many ways to do that.
Assuming that a Windows reinstall will wipe any of you own work is precisely what has caused your FSX installation to be messed up.
While I'm not that extreme, one of my colleagues at FSDT reinstall Windows basically after every new major project completed, or he reinstall it just because he made major hardware upgrades, and those always works best on a full reinstall. I reinstall usually every couple of years.
We obviously have TONS of VERY valuable work that needs to be transferred, never lost a file once.
Cfoley:
I went ahead an uninstalled everything that was Microsoft FSX and Steam, including all the SimConnect apps.
Cfoley:
FSX will not uninstall. I quit.

I really hate to break this to you but you should really do a proper backup and clean install of windows and FSX. I get it sucks and its a royal pain but migrating complex software from one OS to another OS is just asking for issues, which you have encountered.
Also I don't understand why you cant get FSX to install on Win10, it may also be related to the fact that you migrated from another PC.
One thing you can do is get another SSD and swap it out with the your existing, or disable it with bios temporarily. You can install Win 10 or 11 fresh on that drive and reinstall FSX, your other programs, and everything else and see how you fair. You'll have the old one as a backup and if all goes smoothly you can then reformat and use that as a second drive after you copy over your data files.

I am not an IT expert. I am through with this. Thanks for the suggestions though.
