Cosworth toolbox on Windows 11?
Anybody running the PDR software/Cosworth Toolbox on Windows 11? Any issues?
Wanted to be sure it works before I try it on a virtual machine on a MacBook. Also, anybody try to Alivedrive app from Cosworth? Looks interesting, but would be of much use to me at the local tracks. Data service sucks too much to use a cloud app.

Cosworth Toolbox & Pi Toolbox both work on Windows 11
I've played around with the Alivedrive app. It works well, but I find the functionality limited. I haven't found much use for it and prefer to do any analysis on PC with the more fully featured apps.

Got it to run just fine on Window 11!
Major thorn in my side solved. Running Parallels Desktop on my Mac to get Windows 11 working. Cosworth Toolbox is the only freaking program that I have that won't work in a Mac environment. Tried other VM options over the years, but Parallels was on the only thing that makes it work well. Finally, get to use the PDR software up to its potential and not have to keep a POS windows box around.

Virtual machines can be a safe way to experiment with different setups, especially if you're concerned about software compatibility. As for the Alivedrive app, it does sound intriguing, but I get your point about data service at local tracks. Sometimes, a reliable cloud connection can be a bit of a challenge. Nonetheless, it's cool to see how technology is evolving to enhance the track experience. If you decide to give it a shot on Windows 11, I hope it works smoothly for you! And for more tech-related tips and discussions, you might want to explore the Windows 10 Key Reddit sub.

I haven't personally tried running Cosworth Toolbox on Windows 11, but I've heard mixed reviews. Some folks say it works like a charm, while others have had a few glitches here and there. Might be worth a shot on a virtual machine first, just to be safe. As for Alivedrive, it does sound intriguing, but I get what you mean about spotty data service at local tracks. Speaking of trying new things, if you're considering upgrading to Windows 11, I recently came across a good deal on a Windows 11 Pro key online. Made the upgrade process a breeze for me.
