Hi I guess it finally gave up waiting for me to press the okay button
because it updated to windows 8.1 on its own.
and the only thing I got stuck on is the end where it says to pick a net
work to finish the update process I had to get my cousin to help me with
that part
and so far everything is working fine again.
thanks to everyone who answered my cry for help
Re: [JAWS-Users] updating from windows 8.0 to 8.1
Hi,
In my case, it eventually got tired of me clicking remind me later and it
went ahead and downloaded it and installed it. One day, I was working in a
Word document and, all of a sudden, JAWS said "please wait while your
computer is upgraded to Windows 8.1" or something to that effect.
Thankfully, my wife was around and she completed the upgrade process for me
because, as has been said, it is not accessible. I know that many people
like 8.1 but, personally, I find my computer, which came with Windows 8, to
be less stable after the upgrade to 8.1. I wish it had given me a choice
about updating.
Thanks,
Scott Duck

Hi Anna,
Unless Microsoft has changed the upgrade process since Windows 8.1 was first
released, I found the upgrade to be impossible. The upgrade evidently uses
the Microsoft Store metro app, which is inaccessible, and once I clicked on
"Get It Now", that's as far as I got. From this point on, JAWS will read
nothing, and there is no way of knowing where you are at. I resorted to the
Microsoft Accessiblity Support Group to help me get it installed. I also
always had trouble with it after the upgrade, and ended up buying a new
laptop with 8.1 installed on it, I have liked it since then, no problems. My
old computer, I reverted it back to Windows 7. This is just my experience,
but I do know many people had trouble getting the update.
