Can I ask a hardware question?

Will the software run on a Macbook Pro - 2015/16 running High Sierra OS, 8 GB RAM, 5th gen i5 and empty 128GB SSD? I only ask as I just had a knackered Macbook Pro of my daughter's fixed and was going to sell it for £400.

Also have an Alienware MX14 R2 with an i7 processor, loads of storage and 16GB RAM but running Win 7. I do have an ASUS ROG with an i7 and 32GB RAM but a bit big to stick in the car for diagnostics, running Win 10.

Any advice appreciated.

For the Mac, you'll need to install a Virtual Machine program then install Windows 7 Professional within the VM then install Vida on the VM.

Vida will install fine and run natively on your Windows 7 laptop.

Does it matter if the Alienware is not Win 7 Professional or do I need to upgrade it?

The Mac sounds too complicated - will sell it.

It depends what "not 7 Professional" means.
If it's not 7 Professional but it is 7 Enterprise or 7 Ultimate, a simple install will be ok.

If it's Home or Home Premium, you'll need to purchase a 7 Professional product key to upgrade. Professional product keys are freely available for around £3-£5.

Default Now with SSD included

All laptops will now be fitted with a 120GB SSD for an even faster experience.
The price will increase slightly by an additional £5 which is much less than the cost of the SSD upgrade.
Even higher capacity SSDs can be fitted for a little extra and for less than cost price.
240GB SSD + £15
480GB SSD + £35

Anyone who paid more for an SSD upgrade from me previously has been refunded the difference.

All laptops run Vida 2014d natively on Windows 10 Pro, have 4GB RAM and can be used as everyday laptops when Vida isn't required.

In Summary:
-New, tested and guaranteed working Dice with full installation support £100
You must already have a suitably specced laptop for this option

-Vida 120GB SSD laptop on its own £150

-Vida 120GB SSD laptop with a new, tested and guaranteed working Dice £250

These are delivered prices to the UK mainland.
Europe and the rest of the world cost extra.

Default One-off cheaper laptop package

Good used Dell E6410 laptop with 2 used batteries which is cheaper because the DVD reader isn't working 100%.

The laptop otherwise works great and the exact laptop can be seen on the left in my video here.
It's now fitted with a fast 120GB SSD too so it's as fast as the laptop on the right in the video.
If in the future, you want a DVD reader, they take less than 20 seconds to remove and fit.

It also comes with a brand new, tested and guaranteed working Dice.
£220 delivered (UK mainland) payable through PayPal only.

Yes.
