I just got a zeus plus and i already want to open it and upgrade it like this.

Nice work. I bought the ETHOS Edge from snap on a few years back. It's served me well enough.

I have a Solus Ultra and a Modis Ultra... both work well, but the Solus Ultra is slower. I have backups to my backups! LOL

I forgot to mention that I have 10GB of service manuals on the SSD... which didn't help space wise, but 30GB for an OS!!?? I have a 32GB netbook at work that I can't install anything on (besides VCDS), because the OS takes up all of the SSD. LOL

Perform "upgrade" at OWN RISK!!! You might want to wait a few months to see if I have any issues. I will probably update my ZEUS to the newest Software Bundle before the end of the year... car insurance comes FIRST!!

You don't have to clone your SSD... if you don't want to upgrade your SSD. You can do maintenance / cleaning of the board if you want to.

@EXOVCDS Год назад

Still works great. I even added an external 4 port USB 3.0 adapter that I stuck to the back of the scope module. A 90 degree USB plug exits the side of the Zeus and feeds the adapter at the back. I dropped my Zeus 6 months ago and it landed on the straight USB connector that was plugged into the Zeus. With my USB connections now at the back, I won't have any issues should I drop it again.

By any chance do you still have the original hard drive because i have a verus edge and id like to upgrade to windows 10 for experimental

@EXOVCDS 8 месяцев назад

Snap-On installed Embedded Windows® 10 on my Zeus: www.msembedded.biz/en/embedded/windows-10-iot-core#:~:text=Windows%20IoT%20Core%20is%20a,guidelines%20are%20available%20from%20Microsoft. Running the full version of W10 on the Verus Edge or Zeus would not be practical, due to the hardware in the devices. The Zeus+ comes with 64bit Windows® 10

@EXOVCDS 8 месяцев назад

Hard drives for the Verus Edge can be found as regular HDDs or SSDs... use a cloning software to clone and then try updating the cloned drive to W10 via windows update process. productforum.autorepairdata.com/forum/showthread.php?t=17885

I couldn't find any videos or other references aside from the one I came across in a snap-on forum. I was pleasantly surprised how easily it came apart... my verus Pro was more difficult.

@V10PDTDI 2 года назад

the most annoying par of all this that it's not that they can't do it it's they don't want to do it because it would make them way more profit to sell you a brand new tool.

@EXOVCDS 2 года назад

The funny part is... Zeus has been out for 4 years.... the newest Zeus still only has a 64gb SSD. The product would be more enticing / sell better with better specs. The scope is fine, but it's borderline basic / minimum spes that are needed in the field.

@manwiththestar2305 2 года назад

This video helped me void my warranty. 🤣🤣🤣 I couldn't be happier. I now have 1TB SSD and 8GB RAM. No issues with Acronis and system seems to be running smoothly and is much quicker.👌 A little overkill but worth it because I don't have to deal with ALWAYS seeing the "Device Performance & Health" icon.

Did the RAM upgrade improve the laggy performance while scrolling through saved data? I've been wanting to upgrade the RAM since the day after I purchased the Zeus, fortunately my warranty expires next month so I will be doing this upgrade. Also, since it's been a few months since this video came out, have you had any issues arise?

@EXOVCDS 2 года назад

Griaß di Gott... bist du mit deiner Ausbildung schon fertig (ich nehme an ja)? KFZ Mechatroniker kann man brauchen in Nord Amerika. Keine Ahnung wie du eine Stellung findest, oder wie kompliziert die Einwanderung nach Kanada oder USA ist (ich war 11 Jahre alt als wir umgezogen sind).

@weldingjunkie 2 года назад

I meant to ask, did you use free edition acronis? Do you think you can go 8gb ram & will 1tb ssd work?

@EXOVCDS 2 года назад

I don't know about 8gb... 1TB should work, but can't be sure till I do it myself. Trial version would not let me clone, so I paid for it. Can be used / installed on 3 pc's.

@spacecat7015 2 года назад

The 32-bit Windows 7 Operating System can only use 4Gb of RAM. It might work, but would give you no more usable RAM, thus no performance gains. The $200 Windows 10 upgrade is tempting but from my research online it looks like it is also a 32-bit OS (which is also limited to 4GB RAM usable). Windows 10 does outperform Windows 7 but because it is still a 32-bit OS I would be hesitant unless you browse a lot on the web and want to keep up with security patches. The Snap-On applications are all 32-bit so even if the OS were 64-bit there would be no major performance gains in the Snap-On apps. I think I saw somewhere that they saw better performance with 500GB vs 1TB because of drive indexing performance. But that may have been because of the quality of SSD chosen. Remember, the underlying hardware is still just a reliable 4-banger, not an LS-1.

@timlyon2924 9 месяцев назад

@@spacecat7015so do you see any performance gains using the Windows 7 and upgrading the storage and RAM is it worth it to do it? Just purchase the Zeus wanted to see if it was even worth it to upgrade the RAM and the storage

@ciig4604 2 года назад

It’s weird just how much they overcharge for stuff, charging 200$ to change out your Operating system would’ve taken someone 10 mins like this and the fact that snap-on doesn’t just make an M.2 NVMe slot for their 9000$ product is ridiculous considering it’s way smaller and would require a smaller heat sink while being just as fast if not faster than a ssd Nonetheless great job I always enjoy seeing videos like these

@EXOVCDS 2 года назад

This SSD is not much bigger than a M.2 NVMe drive / ssd. The upgrade to Win10 (Enterprise LTSC) was worth the cost (for me) as I'm not very PC Savvy.... copy & paste I can do! LOL

@ciig4604 2 года назад

@@EXOVCDS that’s fair it’s just weird to see it so expensive, I guess that software is where all the cost is lol Also an m.2 can be the size of a kids finger their about a quarter the size of a ssd and are more plug n play

Hey Thomas how expensive is this machine? Do you need a subscription to do for eg headlight module coding on Benz etc immobilizer systems on vw etc thanks

@EXOVCDS 2 года назад

The only reason I bought this (or any other prior scanner) was because my former workplace did not invest in shop equipment... I needed something when cars came in that were non VW/Audi. It doesn't get used often and I even end up using the (new shops) LAUNCH scan tool when this thing is of no help. The 4 channel scope is probably more useful to me than the "odd" times that I need to view DATA PIDS on non VW/Audi vehicles (my VCDS dongles and the shops ODIS subscription covers the majority of stuff that I need to do). Getting back to your question... I have no idea if the Zeus can do what you need it to do. I would suggest getting a loaner from your rep to test things out.
