Re: [JAWS-Users] NEW COMPUTER, WINDOWS 8.1 MUCH BETTER THAN WINDOWS 7
In redesigning 8.1, Microsoft did something for which it hasn't been exactly famous--it listened to consumers and gave them what they asked for, rather than what Ms thought they should have. I'm hopeful the same philosophy is being applied in 10.

Windows 8.1 is great, because there are more keyboard commands and you can have your computer start up on the desktop. With Windows 8.1, you get to use the start screen with all of the apps tiles on it. Here's the thing.

Also, the control panel has a search box as well. I love this! With Windows 8.1, the files explorer is much better than Windows explorer in Windows 7. All you have to do with 8.1, is to press the windows+E, and shift tab once. Under this PC, you have every single folder you ever need. Documents, downloads, your hard drive, for example. All you have to do is press enter on documents, for example, and tab to the contents of the documents folder. But, here is the best thing about Windows 8.1! There are many many key commands you can navigate with by pressing the Windows key + a letter.

Re: [JAWS-Users] NEW COMPUTER, WINDOWS 8.1 MUCH BETTER THAN WINDOWS 7
Hi. You are sure to like windows 10 then, as it keeps the same layout as windows 8.1, but brings some of the stuff only about half way back to the old windows 7 way of doing things. The windows x stuff is still there, and there are even more keystrokes if I'm not mistaken than in windows 8.1. Windows explorer scared me for a while because they have implemented a new home folder that windows+e lands you on. This folder is nice, because you can put shortcuts to what ever you want easy access to in there, including your hard drive and what ever else. Neat, but I do prefer the this pc folder, so the folder options dialogue now includes a choice as to which you would like your default windows explorer location to be. I put mine back to this pc and it works just fine. I believe you'll be pleased enough when the time comes.

Re: [JAWS-Users] NEW COMPUTER, WINDOWS 8.1 MUCH BETTER THAN WINDOWS 7
Thanks. I found out about Windows 10 through my instructor at Morehead here in NC, and since have been looking into it. I am encouraged by what David has said and feel that if 10 is better than that, then, well, that's really good.
