Best Diagnostic Software?

[Sean17]

Hi all, I have a Panasonic ToughBook but I’m looking for the best software to install on it, hopefully free for Diagnosics. I do have a TOPDON which I find very good but I also want a backup. Also any accessories (readers etc). 
 

any help is appreciated. 
Thanks

FORScan (for use with Windows Laptop) : https://forscan.org/download.html

It's what many Ford owners use including some Ford technicians.

Thanks mate I do have FORscan but find it a bit more of a pain than others, not sure if that’s because I don’t use it as much.

You asked for the best software and Forscan is the best software other than Fords own.

Ok Thanks I might just need to have a play around on it as I don’t use it much I have a Topdon and that seems to be pretty good, we just looking for a back to have on the laptop 👍🏻

Topdon reads about 70 to 80% of the DTC's on a Ford. It generally doesn't read the Ford specific codes which is true of most generic readers.
