So if you didn't reserve it before July 29, and still isn't
reserved, will it be on the important updates?

Subject: Re: [JAWS-Users] Want to cancel Windows 10 reservation
Here's some information for everyone who has not reserved their
copy of
Windows 10, or who think that they want to cancel their
reservation. I
thought that I was all set to get Windows 10, having reserved it
when the
icon first starting popping up. Then today, I noticed that upon
opening
Windows Update, I had 2 important updates ready for installation.
Upon
checking to see what these were, I made note of the numbers of
each. Then I
installed them, or so I thought. After the first install
attempt, I then
clicked on Check For Updates again, and the same 2 updates
appeared again. I
went through this process about 3 times, then called Microsoft
Accessibility. The technician, Barry, told me that there was an
error code
there that JAWS was apparently not reading to me. He checked the
code out,
and there happened to be a Fix-it for this particular one. He
ran the
Fix-it, and it did indeed repair Windows Update for me. After
again checking
for updates, I again received these same
2, plus 2 more which I had not seen before. They all 4 installed
successfully, and did not reappear again. However, after once
again checking
for updates, I received a list of 141 important updates that
needed to be
installed. This took about 4 hours to complete. Barry called me
throughout
the afternoon to see where the progress was, and upon completion,
we again
checked again for updates, but none were found. One of the 141
updates was
the Get Windows 10 update, and I was able to reregister to
receive the
update for free, and I did receive an email notification that I
had
sucessfully registered for the update. The email told me that
when my update
was ready, I would receive a notification in my system tray that
it was now
available for installation, and it would prompt me to do so.
This morning,
someone had stated that if you had not registered for the free
update, that
it is to late, but that is not true, because I did it today, and
the process
worked well. Also, anyone worried that they might get the update
without
knowing it through Windows Update, that is not going to happen.
You will
first see the notification in your system tray telling you that
it is
available first. I hope this helps some of you to better
understand the
process.

Hello Gang:
How about this! I want to cancel my reservation. How do I do
that?
I want other updates to automatically download, but not Windows
10. There
seems to be some confusion as to whether it will want to
automatically
download.
So, I would like instructions on how to cancel my reservation. I
did a
google search, and found instructions. But, guess what: one of
the
instructions was to "click on the hamburger in the upper left
hand corner."
Excuse me? Totally blind folks cannot do that!
Thanks. Neil
