I'm a newbie so please help with my confusion. I am very interested in obtaining the things I need to use Forscan. I have a 2024 Maverick Hybrid and a Windows 11 laptop to use for this.

All of the OBD II devices I see online appear to be very similar making the choice extremely difficult. Some have the Ford logo, others have a designation of "ELM 327", some have both. There seem to be infinite other variations as well, with prices all over the map.

I'm looking for something functional but basic. I don't need or want anything other than a simple USB type connection to my laptop. Please point me in the right direction.

Also I got the sense by watching some of the YouTube videos, that Windows 11 could be a problem? Please advise.

Forscan site lists the good, and some of the problem devices and why.

Since you want it to work with their software - I'd suggest take their recommendation.
Above comment is one such.
