Hi all,
That tech person on the phone was wrong. I up graded to Windows 10 just like
Jim did without any sighted assistance at all. Narrator indeed worked at the
end after win 10 had downloaded and installed. When JAWS quit working,
Narrator worked the rest of the time. Take care and go win 10. If you follow
everything Jim said to do like I did, you will have no trouble at all. Take
care.

Says sighted assistance necessary
as I read somewhere, you can create a bootable DVD or USB but only after
upgrading first, unless you purchase a retail or OEM copy of windows 10.
I would like to know how this would be done so I have notes on the steps
to do this once I'm ready.
I hope FS will still send out DVDs for JAWS 17, unless someone can tell
us different.

Hello Gang:
I tried to upgrade an older Dell laptop to Windows 10, yesterday,
through
the MS Accessibility Help Desk. But, was unsuccessful, because I had so
many
Windows 7 updates to download and install. Still having to download some
today.
However, here is my point. While talking to one of the MS helpers, he
told
me, "Well, Sir, you know that when we do the download for Windows 10,
there
will be a time, when there is no connection with us, and sighted
assistance
will be necessary." I replied, "Well, I understand at that point, I can
turn
on the narrator and complete it without sighted assistance."
He said, "I don't think that is really the case. You need sighted
assistance."
Well, according to the notes from Jim Flusche, The narrator is totally
useable, after the 10 install. Or did I misunderstand Jim's instructions?
Two final questions:
1. Does FS send out CDs for the JAWS 17, for those of us with a SMA?
2. Would a CD be a good thing to have for starting a new Windows 10
computer, or can that be done via narrator, as well.
Thanks. Have a great Sunday!
Neil
