Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

7 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

I have a Durametric I purchased used and it works fine. I currently have the software loaded on a laptop running Windows 7 . If I change the operating system to Windows 10 will the Durametric still work ? I have an older laptop running Windows XP will the Durametric run on that ? Anyone running the Durametric on a Chromebook or tablet ?

POST 2Original post

Yes it will work

POST 3Original post

Durametric works well on Windows 10 machines. As for tablets, they have to be Windows based as well.

POST 4Original post

I know this is an old thread, but I just wanted to mention that I have been running it successfully on an $80 8.9" tablet that I bought on Amazon. the brand is Insignia and it runs Windows 10. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B073GJ6ZT4/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o02_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 Much better than hauling a laptop around and you put it in the glove compartment! Lots of windows tablets available these days for reasonable prices....and windows 10 works very well in tablets.

I picked up a Dell Inspiron Mini 10 at a thrift shop for $15 with Windows 7 on it. It's a bit slow overall (Atom processor), but runs the Durametric software just fine. I like having a keyboard, but I think in this case a tablet would be even better.

POST 6Original post

I didn't know you could run Durametric on a tablet ....how do you make the USB connection...an adapter ??

POST 7Original post

yes, with an adapter. USB to Micro usb get one on Ebay or Amazon or wherever. Works well on a windows tablet. You can keep it in the glove box
