Flexi 8.1: Install _top_

Because Flexi 8.1 is older software (released circa 2008-2009), installing it on modern computers (Windows 10 or 11) requires a specific procedure. It was designed for Windows XP and Vista, so compatibility modes are often necessary.

During the process, the installer will ask to install the Sentinel System Driver. This is the most critical step. Agree to the driver installation. flexi 8.1 install

  • Can I upgrade from an earlier version of Flexi to version 8.1?
