When I click on the get windows 10 icon in my system tray it tells me it's validating my windows or something like that then it says it'll notify me when it's ready. How do I know when It's ready? How will I be notified? Via email and if so which email address will it send it to? Thanks Johna

You do not have to wait until you receive JAWS 17 to up grade. I up graded with JAWS 16.0.4350 and the experience couldn't have been better. You can use Narrator to do the last couple of steps and JAWS will come back talking. When it does, just remember to uninstall JAWS and Reinstall JAWS even if you upgraded from Windows 8.1. It makes things work so much better in Win 10 if you do. Take care. -----Original Message----- From: Mike Sent: Monday, November 9, 2015 12:27 AM To: jaws-users-list@jaws-users.com Subject: Re: [JAWS-Users] Upgrading to Windows 10, Microsoft Accessibility;Says sighted assistance necessary It appeared to me, when I purchased my new SMA for JAWS 18 and 19, and upgraded to 17, that the disk would cost $10. I saw nothing to make me believe that I would be receiving one by mail. I then talked to FS Sales, to make my SMA purchase, and nothing was said about them sending me the disk either. So, unless someone receives one and posts that they did, then I am assuming that there will be no disk sentt.

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!
