I went to a clinic on Windows 10 and they talked about The Edge replacing IE and the elimination of Windows Media Player and there was a list of other changes. Even if Windows is an easy transition (I have heard other thoughts) is it a better platform than Windows 7? By the way, the sighted instructor from Micro Center told us that he is still using Windows 7.
Many of you are more advanced users-does that make a difference?

Hi All, Last week I contacted MS accessibility to ask if they could assist me with up-dating to Windows10. I was told that many users, particularly screen reader users are having problems with Win 10. He said that he would help, but he didn't recommend it. He explained that most of the individuals having problems are those up-dating from Windows7 to Windows10. I asked him if I should first up-date to Windows8.1 and then go to Windows10. He recommended that I do so. I know that many of you on this list have up-dated to Win10, but have those of you who went from Win7 to Win10 had a particularly hard time? I'm looking on Amazon for the cd and I'd rather not buy it if I really don't need to. I'd appreciate all pros and cons so I can make a final decision about what I should do. Thanks in advance.
