Techstream Question

Apologize if this has been covered before. Can a Windows 7 laptop run Techstream? Somewhere along the line, I seem to remember it had to be running Windows XP. Thank you.

I run in on a Windows 7 32bit laptop. I think the hardware had issues with x64 (the cable software).

I have a old Dell dual core laptop that I only really use for this...

It can be run on Windows 7, but that are some steps that have to be done in order to get it to work. I have it running on Windows 7 (64 bit) and Windows XP.

I installed it on my ~8 year old old laptop that runs XP, and I only use it for that. Wondering how much longer that laptop will continue to run (batterie's already dead, have to run it on a power cord). I have another old laptop that is running Win 7 64 bit that I no longer use ... but I don't have an install disk anymore. Is there a place that we can download the software so I can try putting it on the W7 machine?
