I've been looking on ebay for Lexia and none of the sellers say whether the software will work on Win 10. I even saw a laptop with Lexia installed but it was running Win XP which has long since been abandoned by Microsoft and is a security risk. Does anybody know if the software will run on Win 10? I don't want to spend money to find out it won't work and I don't want to run a virtual installation of Win XP as it is still a security risk. |

Lexia was superseded by diagbox. I run it on Windows 7 but I wouldn't worry about running on a Win XP VM as you don't want internet access on it anyway. | ||

I run mine on a virtual XP on my laptop. No internet connection needed. Never any problems. | ||

You don't want a diagbox install on your only laptop either - it's quite a large series of programs that make a LOT of changes to your system and open a lot of firewall ports. It's a security risk in itself. You either need a dedicated laptop for it or a VM - and in both cases you don't want to allow internet access to it anyway unless you've have a legitimate version from Citroen and paid the £££££ for it. |

Forgot to mention I bought a cheap HP laptop and only have the XP VM on it. | ||

Yeah, it looks like I'm going to have to do a virtual install of XP and disable the wireless connection when I'm running Lexia. Thanks for the responses. |
