What are the differences between TechTool Deluxe and TechTool Pro?
TechTool Pro is a full-featured computer diagnostic and repair utility that checks almost every single aspect of your computer. In addition to testing the components of the motherboard, TechTool Pro can check items like Network connections, FireWire and USB hard drives, and monitor the SMART status of drives. It also includes features to maximize your computer's performance, recover data from damaged drives, etc. TechTool Pro includes all of the features of TechTool Deluxe, plus these additional features as well:

One of the most innovative features of TechTool Pro is the eDrive. An eDrive is an invisible emergency volume on one of your hard drives. This new partition is created WITHOUT the need to reformat your current drive. It contains a minimal copy of your system, a copy of TechTool Pro, and even includes room for other utilities. If you ever have trouble with your main drive, simply restart your computer from your eDrive. This gives you immediate access to the utilities you need to work on your main drive. With eDrive, there's no need to locate a bootable CD for system drive repair or maintenance. You can even update the eDrive as program updates are released, so you will always be using the latest version of the program.

You can upgrade from TechTool Deluxe to TechTool Pro by contacting Micromat Sales or from our online store.
