Yes, you are correct - it's Windows 8.1, thanks for the suggestions.

When you said "8.4" you really meant Windows 8.1, which was the last one
before Windows 10.
If you meant Window-Eyes 8.4, it is not going to work on Windows 10 at
all. You should be running Window-Eyes 9.5.4 if possible.
For installing Windows 10, if it is an older version, you can get
Narrator started with Windows-Enter. For the versions of the last couple
of years, you can start Narrator with ctrl-Windows-Enter. When I did an
install back in 2015, the disability answer desk didn't exist. But I put
an AM radio near the computer to get a sense of whether there was disk
activity, the processor was waiting for input, etc. This helped a little.
Also, Aira or BeMyEyes might be helpful during the setup process.

Thanks. I guess I should take the plunge sooner than later.

I was a long time user of Window Eyes, WE 9.5.4 will somewhat work
with Win10. But no earlier versions of WE. I got JAWS free when WE was
sold. I started using JAWS then and kept WE and would use it
sometimes.WE actually works best on a few sites even now, but not well
on others. There is also a good free screen reader NVDA. I keep all
three screen readers installed but mostly use JAWS now. Going from 8.4
to 10 should not be hard to learn. Microsoft disability probably would
help you or you can down load the Windows Upgrade assistant and do it
yourself.---- Original Message ----- From: "Nick Sarames via Talk"

Subject: A Question Or Two
So I'm still procrastinating. I'm currently using the latest
Window--eyes and the that precedes Windows 10 (maybe it's Windows
8.4?). If I knew for certain that WE is reasonably compatible with
Windows 10 but my concern is that WE won't work at all. I guess my
question is, is it more difficult to learn Jaws or Windows 10? Should
I download Jaws before worrying about Windows 10? I really don't do
much more than surfing and e-mailing, and the occasional ordering of
food and miscellaneous products. Also, is it possible for the
Michrosoft Disabilities desk to install Windows 10 using remote
assist, and if so, would you recommend it?
If you would prefer e-mailing me privately, feel free.

Thanks in advance.
