Hi Jo, I am somewhat unclear as to what your question is, however, if you are interested in Microsoft notebooks because they don't come with trialware, you have some other choices.
If you buy a Dell laptop from their business division (or I should say for their business customers) instead of the standard consumer group, those don't come with trialware. This is what I did a couple of years ago (bought an E6530, which includes a full keyboard). You also can choose the exact version of Windows which you want (I wanted the 32 bit version, and wanted Windows 7 because 8 had just come out). The consumer offerings are all pre-configured, leaving you little choice, and they often do come with trialware (but this is not hard to uninstall, you should not worry about it). Finally, there was a free program around (and it may still be available) called decrap or something like it, which helped remove automatically, all the free trialware that gets added to a new pc. If this missed your question, perhaps you could try again?

I know there is access to Microsoft support and some technical assistance. How does the access to this Microsoft assistance carry over to the computers Microsoft builds and sells? My understanding is that there's no trialware that comes with a Microsoft computer but are their computers, (especially laptops, accessible for a blind user without an external keyboard or braille display? I use Windows 7 64-bit ultrabook with latest WE and appreciate feedback, off list, if preferred.
