Forscan using a laptop with Windows Vista Premium

I know lots of members use Forscan but can any one confirm it will work on a laptop with Windows Vista Premium? As this is my only option.  Also will I need to load a driver for the adaptor I use ( I have not ordered one).  I need to checkout my Focus ABS, Traction Control as lights are both on, suspect a  faulty wheel speed sensor.

 

Thanks any  advice appreciated.  Richard.

    Yes it should be fine for your 2010 Fusion. There is an alternative cable which is slightly cheaper which is also suitable for your car.
