I hope this short lesson helps you in organizing your computer running the W-10 Creators update with Jaws. *My purpose for developing all of this free material for the Blind computer user is to help teach and assist a Blind person to use w-10 with a Screen reader like Jaws. *My hope is that the Blind computer user will grow in confidence, in their ability, to use, and to navigate the w-10 computer system, using just Jaws. *We also have group members, to can help teach about using NVDA, on a W-10 computer as well. *This is one of many tutorials, I hope to produce, for the Blind community, to help teach all of them, how to use a W-10 computer using Jaws. *My hope is , That over time, they would learn how to do, and complete, various computer tasks in W-10, all by themselves. *The W-10 and Jaws yahoo group is a freely provided ministry of The River Yahoo group. *I freely offer the W-10 and Jaws group, and all of its materials, as a free and voluntary work of love, to reach out and teach all the blind computer users all over the world, how to learn how to use a W-10 computer using Jaws.
