If you bought the PC from a big box store as peoplele call them to not name names, then count on your coppy of Win 8 being 64 bit so I'd get the 64 bit JAWS if I were you. Just out of curiousity, how does any one even end up with 32 bit? When now every one makes their PCs with 64 bit win 8. This was true even with Win 7 too. I almost put 6 which technically would have been the all hated Vista. Poor, poor Vista.

IF you're running your current version of JAWS on XP, then it is the 32 bit version. If you're Windows 8 machine is also 32 bit, you can install your current version on it. But if your windows 8 system is a 64 bit machine, you'll need to download the 64 bit version of JAWS from the FS web site and install that. Your pro license will cover that. You will also be able to install as many new versions of JAWS as there are left on your SMA both on Windows 8 and Windows XP. -----Original Message----- From: JAWS-Users-List [mailto:jaws-users-list-boun...@jaws-users.com] On Behalf Of Melissa Hambleton Sent: Monday, November 25, 2013 08:53 To: jaws-users-list@jaws-users.com Subject: [JAWS-Users] Pro version of JAWS and Windows 8 I have the Pro version of JAWS and a SMA as well for JAWS. I will be upgrading soon from the Pro version of XP to Windows 8 but, most likely not a Pro version of it--home use. Will the Pro version of JAWS that I have--JAWS 15 work on Windows 8 or does anyone know if the SMA will cover any changes if I can't use the Pro version?
