...but how does Microsoft, or the installation wizard know that we are using the assistive technology? Do we trust that the detection is built in to the installer, to give us a "free pass"?
Or do we need to self-identify at any point during the install process, or when downloading the OS file?

Assistive technology users can do this anytime from now until the end of eternity, or Microsoft says so, which ever comes first. Since you use Jaws, that is considered assistive technology, and so you're not subject to the July 29 deadline.

So I am resending it. I am about to upgrade my windows7 desktop to windows10 before the free upgrade option runs out at the end of the month. From what i understand. We have to uninstall all versions of Jaws etc running on our computers. Do the windows10 upgrade and then install jaws again. Is this correct? If so, how are we meant to run the upgrade if we don't have any speech? In addition, do we need to use the FS uninstall tool as mentioned? If so, do we run that after uninstalling Jaws? Or do we use that to uninstall jaws? O! and usually we get told not to choose the remove shared componants option when uninstalling Jaws. Since they want us to remove all versions of Jaws. Should I choose this option this time? And are there any other things I should do when upgrading to windows10?
