Hi friends,

I use Techstream if I want to do dealer level scan but it's inconvenient since it runs on Windows 7 so I have to pull out the old laptop and slap in the Windows 7 hard drive- just a pain.

It would be nice to load Techstream on my Windows 10 laptop so if anyone knows how to do it please share. Thank You.

 

It works perfectly for me on a small HP laptop running Windows 10. I simply installed and it worked right away.

 

It works fine on Windows 10 - follow the instructions here: https://www.landcruiserclub.net/comm...ows-10.152388/

That said, I've always preferred to use a Windows 7 virtual machine with Techstream setup so it's always ready to go and no windows updates or other changes can cause problems. The VM takes 15gb of space, so it's not a huge deal. You can find a Techstream specific VM to download on the IH8MUD forum if you do a quick google search.

 

All you need is W10 32bit NOT 64bit. While you can run it on 64bit, you need to modify some files and to me thats more work than necessary. On 32bit W10 its install and go.

 

I can only get Techstream to work with Windows 98!

 

Yeah I have it running ok on Windows 7 but tried a few times on Windows 10 (64 bit) and failed miserably- just won't work even when installing & running in "Legacy Mode".

 

It took me at least 15 hours total time to get Techstream operating on an old laptop -- just to turn off my DRL lights and program a new key!
I also used Techstream to install new TPMS's, myself. So I guess it was worth it. But never again.
