In order to optimise the use and reduce the risk of possible compatibility problems, we recommend that this software be installed on a PC that is dedicated exclusively to workshop use.

All of our TEXA laptop diagnostic kits come standard with a Panasonic CF31 Toughbook. These are the most rugged laptops on the planet, and each of them goes through an extensive refurbishment process. This post is intended to show you exactly what you are receiving, along with upgrade options.
Our Standard Laptop Diagnostic Kits
Our standard laptop kits for TEXA are more than adequate for most customers, but we understand that sometimes customers want to add a little more. Our base kit includes:
Brand new 120 GB Solid State Drive
These are not “normal” hard drives you find in a laptop or desktop, which are usually mechanical hard drives that spin like an old-fashioned record player. Solid State Drives are essentially blocks of memory with no moving parts. What this means for the customer is battery life, longer warranty (5 years on the hard drive itself), and improved performance. For all the details on the difference, our friends at Storage Review have a great blog post on it.
Brand new 8 GB of RAM.
We have our own private line of Diesel Laptops branded DDR3 1600MHZ RAM that is held to the highest quality and standard. We offer a lifetime warranty on it.
Drivers For Desktop
Windows 7 Professional.
We are an authorized Microsoft Refurbisher, and all our laptops are delivered with a Genuine Windows Certificate of Authenticity.
Professionally refurbished Panasonic Toughbook CF-31 Laptop
Our laptops are professionally refurbished and held to the highest standards. The laptops are completely dis-assembled, inspected, cleaned, and damaged or worn our parts are replaced with new. Each laptop is backed by our 12-month warranty. The Panasonic Toughbook line is most rugged laptop you will ever see and can easily take a lot of abuse and keep working. See the video below to see how the CF-31 handled our torture test, where we beat it was baseball bat, set it on fire, drug it behind a truck and more.
Wireless Connectivity

All our kits come standard with Wifi and Bluetooth capabilities. Every functioning component is thoroughly tested and inspected multiple times before being delivered to the customer.
You can expect our standard laptop kit to look great, and last for a long time. The average boot-up time from turning the laptop on to working in Windows is less than 20 seconds. We back up each laptop kit with the same 12-month warranty that would come with a brand new model.
RAM
Our base kit includes 8 GB of DDR3 1600MHZ RAM, but you can upgrade to 16 GB of DDR3 1600MHZ RAM for additional $150.
Hard Drive Size
For our clients requiring more hard drive space, we offer 3 upgrade options:
- 120 GB SSD to 240 GB SSD upgrade for $75
- 120 GB SSD to 480 GB SSD upgrade for $150
- 120 GB SSD to 1 TB HD upgrade for $50
Please note that the 1 TB upgrade option is not a solid-state drive. This means degraded computer performance and shorter battery life.
Operating Systems
While Windows 7 Professional is our standard version, customers can upgrade to Windows 10 Professional for another $50. You will receive a genuine Microsoft Certificate of Authenticity with your purchase.
Office 365
Since we are an authorized Microsoft Refurbisher, we can also sell Microsoft Office 365 licenses. These licenses can be used on any computer you wish to install them on. We can not install or register this software for you, as the end user must do this. Registering this software requires authentication with your email and/or mobile device.

- Upgrade from CF31 to TEXA Axone Nemo for $1900

Before you begin
Driver updates for Windows 10, along with many devices, such as network adapters, monitors, printers, and video cards, are automatically downloaded and installed through Windows Update. You probably already have the most recent drivers, but if you'd like to manually update or reinstall a driver, here's how:
Update the device driver
In the search box on the taskbar, enter device manager, then select Device Manager.
Select a category to see names of devices, then right-click (or press and hold) the one you’d like to update.
Select Search automatically for updated driver software.
Select Update Driver.
If Windows doesn't find a new driver, you can try looking for one on the device manufacturer's website and follow their instructions.
Reinstall the device driver
In the search box on the taskbar, enter device manager, then select Device Manager.
Right-click (or press and hold) the name of the device, and select Uninstall.
Restart your PC.
Windows will attempt to reinstall the driver.
