Well, the only reason I think I should replace the computer is I've been told that once the power supply goes everything else will start to go also. I've already replaced the CD/DVD drive. I back up each day in case something does go. I use Century Link Digital Vault, and no, it is not blind friendly, but it came free from my Internet provider and at least I'll have a copy of everything.

Though mine was only 3 when we did it. But it's only 2 more years. Note some of the cool stuff might not work all that well since this PC is 5 years old. I might even suggest if I'm going to be completely honest, that it may not take it. I had a lap top that didn't. That's been replaced by the one I'm using right now though. -----Original Message----- From: JAWS-Users-List [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Deb Caldbeck Sent: Tuesday, November 26, 2013 9:14 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [JAWS-Users] Pro version of JAWS and Windows 8 Okay. Before April, 2014 I will need to upgrade to Windows 8.1. I am using JAWS 14 and XP SP3 pro now. I have not installed JAWS 15 as of yet, although I am authorized for JAWS 15 and 16. My system is a 32 bit. Can I go ahead and install JAWS 15, and then if necessary download the 64 bit version when I get my new computer? I will have to get a new computer, as my power supply has just been replaced, and I don't want to put Windows 8.1 on this five-year-old computer.

IF you're running your current version of JAWS on XP, then it is the 32 bit version. If you're Windows 8 machine is also 32 bit, you can install your current version on it. But if your windows 8 system is a 64 bit machine, you'll need to download the 64 bit version of JAWS from the FS web site and install that. Your pro license will cover that. You will also be able to install as many new versions of JAWS as there are left on your SMA both on Windows 8 and Windows XP. -----Original Message----- From: JAWS-Users-List [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Melissa Hambleton Sent: Monday, November 25, 2013 08:53 To: [email protected] Subject: [JAWS-Users] Pro version of JAWS and Windows 8 I have the Pro version of JAWS and a SMA as well for JAWS. I will be upgrading soon from the Pro version of XP to Windows 8 but, most likely not a Pro version of it--home use. Will the Pro version of JAWS that I have--JAWS 15 work on Windows 8 or does anyone know if the SMA will cover any changes if I can't use the Pro version?
