Modern cars are complex computer controlled electronic systems on wheels and without the means to interrogate the car's internal fault logs, you will have a hard time understanding exactly what is happening in the ECU. However you solve this problem and if you are happy to use software from an unapproved source, the rewards for getting the system to work are high. Sometimes the sellers have done most of the work for you and sometimes they either don't know how to circumvent the inbuilt security systems in the software and they give instructions that they have copied from elsewhere or they don't fully understand the installation problems that you may encounter and often they are Chinese and their English is atrocious. There is a price to be paid for not buying the real thing and that is that there are all sorts of workarounds that have to be employed to get the unofficial software versions to work without failing. The elephant in the room when discussing VIDA installation is that the software is pirated. If you set up a VM to run as WIN7 PRO you'll need a license key for it. There's not enough free memory left in the 64GB main storage and didn't think it would run installed in the memory card.Ģ. I have a very similar Win 10 Notebook but haven't tried it because I thought that:ġ. Vida-wise, it's alright for occasional use and certainly better than nothing.

Whilst dual core with no multithreading is not an issue if the clock speed is decent, just 1.1GHz, it will run a VM but don't expect great performance. It's more like netbook/notebook specs rather than laptop but it does support Virtualization. Is it suitable for your Vice/Vida setup? Any info much appreciated. However, I see USB 3.0 external CD drives are not too expensive. It’s running 64bit Win10, but as with a lot of new Laptops, it does NOT have a DVD/CD drive. I can run an external HD via the USB 3.0 slots. I recently purchased one of those new fandangled Lenovo LapTops with a 64GB SSD and a 128GB memory card slotted in the side plus 4GB ram.
