Mini Vci J2534 Download Of WindowsPatrick Wong kindly provided the information I needed to enable me to use my existing laptop running a 64 bit version of Windows 10 via download of Windows 7 (the file contains 32 and 64 bit versions of the OS).
Question 1) My existing HD has a capacity of nearly 600 G and Ive used only 14 of that. Mini Vci J2534 Install Windows 7Should I partition and install Windows 7 or download it to an external HD 2) Will a 32 bit version of Windows 7 work on a 64 bit machine 3) Which particular company andor brand of mini-VCI cable has worked the best as far as performing Techstream diagnostic functions with the least amount of headaches and the least risk of malware gumming up my laptop There are at least 25-30 choices ranging in price from the teens to around 70. Im initially inclined to believe that the products which are prime-eligible would be the better choices; this belief is offset by the ratings of these. There are also several units available which appear to be recent postings; I define recent by the lack of customer feedback as evidenced by no ratings displayed. Im no certified computer nerd, but I can do things like disassemble and clean the insides, change the hard drive, and add RAM, as well as troubleshoot basic issues involving the OS, networkroutermodem, and software. I am able to follow directions well, so any help related to any of your experiences would be greatly appreciated. Order the cheapest mini-vci J2534 available for less than 15 shipped (Amazon, eBay, or AliExpress). Mini Vci J2534 Download The LatestDownload the latest TechStream SW from the web and install it on a 32-bit Win 7 or 10 OS. The real Mini-VCI was made by a company called XHorse, but you cant buy a real one any more. Counterfeiters stepped into the business, selling their versions so cheaply that XHorse could not continue making and selling the real one. To say they are all the same, one would have to somehow know that only one counterfeiter is producing them, and supplying all the different sellers. There seems to be evidence to the contrary; certainly people have noticed buying different Mini-VCIs that claimed to have different versions of the XHorse firmware. You cant, of course, tell by looking at the label, because even that is a reproduction of the original label, and when you install the device, of course the driver will even claim to be from XHorse. The one I received will connect to most computers in my car, but not to the engine. Other people report not having any problems with theirs, or having different problems. The issue seems to be one of quality control; at the price points the counterfeiters are aiming for, some units will work and some wont. Thats a different way in which they are not all quite the same. If youre open to spending a bit more, there are other J2534 adapters available too. I recently bought one to test and report on, but have not tested it yet.
