apologies, I have a associate who is in training for becoming a it tech, and he thinks his instructors are god, making him the high priest of there wisdom.
unfortunately his instructors are very Greek god like, perverse ba.....s who don't really know anything and are giving wrong information to there pupils, and then he has the b..ls to argue the points with me with a "don't confuse me with the facts my mind is made up" attitude. I just got off the phone with him and a dose of that when I read your post, so apologize for my over reaction, and thank you for the complement, the only thing I can say is at least if someone proves me wrong, I will admit it and apologize for being wrong! smile take care, de elf -----Original Message----- From: Blind-Computing [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of John Justice Sent: Monday, November 19, 2012 11:27 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [Blind-Computing] UPGRADING FROM XP TO WINDOWS 7 Inthane, I have every confidence in your expertise and knowledge.

I have never done that David. In fact, I'm not sure that the average computer user would know how to perform a "clean installation". I'll bet it presents fewer possible issues but I'm not sure I'd recommend that course of action to someone with normal computer experience. You may have forgotten that you, yourself, are highly skilled in these matters. I, for one, am not.

However, as soon as Windows 8 comes out as a fully functioning version, the Windows 7 disks will be much harder to find. If you're going to do this at all, I'd suggest you do it very soon. There's a great deal of documentation available which can help you transition from XP to Windows 7. Some of it might still be on the Blind Computing site. The version of Jaws you are using might have some effect on how well Windows 7 functions once you have made the change. Anything over Jaws 11 should work just fine. For me, switching from one type of Windows to the other was a bit challenging at first but to tell you the truth, it wasn't that much of a problem. There are many people on our list here who can give you help or hints. I can't emphasize enough though, if you are going to make the switch, do it very soon! It won't be long before Windows 8 comes out as a complete marketable version if it hasn't done so already. The stores have a bad habit of getting rid of older software very quickly. That's because they make much more money on the newer programs. Good luck, Randy.
