TRNW-2: Forscan question

[Dan Hogan]

The windows application of Forscan needs a windows installation or environment.  There are ways to run emulation and get it to work on a Chromebook, but a low cost bare bones windows laptop would be a better choice.  Forscan's system requirements are low and it doesn't need much.

The amount of work to stand up a Windows environment just to run this application i would not recommend.

I'd find a bare boots inexpensive windows laptop or fix the current one.

I am having all kinds of problems with my Windows laptop and would like to use a little Chrome notebook that I bought, but it tells me that it can't load Windows-based software like Forscan. I haven't a clue how to go about downloading something to enable Chrome to accept it. Has anyone done this?

Go to apps in the windows menu right click to create a short cut that will give you or should give a desk top short cut

I have an OBDLink EX, and I need to load the ForScan on my PC, but it will not show me an icon shortcut to open it after I download the app from the ForScan site. What am I doing wrong?
