you also have to have version 9.2 or later or it will not install again.

If you do upgrade, be sure and uninstall window-eyes. I did two systems
with microsoft disability help desk and it went into a loop with
window-eyes installed and no way to get out of it without blowing the
entire drive away. The second system, I uninstalled windoweyes, did the
upgrade from seven, and then reinstalled window-eyes.

My suggestion would be to check with the people at the Microsoft
accessibility desk. The reason I suggest this is that my Windows 7 computer
was not compatible with the upgrade. It was a Depp PC and both Microsoft and
Dell said not to upgrade as all that would happen would be that my PC would
be in a permanent loop. It might be worth talking with Microsoft for help.
Their number is (800) 936-5900.

To the tech guys on this list,
In about 6 months Microsoft will end the support for Win7. My Good old
working-horse of a computer might then be retired to make it for a
backup system.
I do have a computer stored away in a closet, which has a broken version
of Win8.1 on it. That is, it does not start up, only presents some kind
of an error screen, informing me the Windows is not a valid version. Was
a computer I bought second-handed, and apparently the seller was no
honest guy. Now, I wonder if I might go for a full version of Win10, and
simply wipe out the old hard drive on that computer, and do a totally
clean install of Win10.
I would be buying the Win10, through the Microsoft store, and hence get
a downloadable of the operative system.
Never been using Win10, and only have paid half an ear to any discussion
on the matter. But I seem to remember something about it being possible
for a blind to install the OS all without eyes. Is that correct, and
does it even apply when I will be doing a clean - all from scratch -
installation?
Could of course go and buy a brand new computer, but they tend to be
loaded with all kinds of bloatware, over here. And the store I saw the
other day, offering to install a clean win10 on their new systems, asked
a price for the windows, about 20% more than what I see it advertised in
Microsoft Store. Would then be a better business to get the broken win8
machine of mine going.
Thanks for all input you can give me on the matter. I will not be doing
my choice all at this time, but will be nice to know what to do, once
the right time or offer comes up.
