Do you think it will be possible to upgrade to win 10 without sighted
assistance using Jaws or even Narrator?

Hi Dave,
If you upgrade your current version of Windows, (Windows 7, 8 or 8.1),
within one (1) year from the release of Windows 10,
the upgrade is free.
After that period, Windows 10 will have to be purchased either by download
from Microsoft, or by purchasing a new computer with Windows 10 already
installed.
You would have to consult the Microsoft website for their pricing schedule.
From what I understand, this will be the last version of Windows,any updates
to it will be mandatory unless you have a premium version installed.
It appears that they are following the model of Apple.
Pay close attention to what I said earlier, this is an upgrade for Windows
users, not an update, there is a big difference.
Now having said that,also keep in mind that any of this info is subject to
change since Windows 10 has not
made it to public release yet.
HTH,
Rick Justice
Tomorrow's another day, another way!
and if tomorrow never comes, problem solved!

Okay, I can hold off on the install. I tried to look for the "fine print"
somewhere to tell me what I'll eventually have to pay for the update, but
can find nothing. Isn't this going to become an annual subscription for
Windows 10 and subsequent updates?

You have a year to install it for free, so, hold off, until FS has a
version of jaws that is compatible with it.

I just sent a message to i...@freedomscientific.com asking if the current
version of JAWS 16 is compatible with Windows 10. They say it is not. So now
that we've signed up for Windows 10, what do we do with it?

I have windows 8.1, google says it comes preinstalled, so I searched for it
and good grief I got confused; however, it doesn't help that I only spent 30
seconds on it.
Whatever is on my comp, the OneDrive ap, so far, I'm unable to do anything
with it.
I shut down my business a few months ago, and my point there is once you
don't deal with certain things after a while, it slips the mind. I like
that 15 gig storage thing, because I have the standard for dropbox which
isn't enough.
Take care.

It is working rather well. The interface couldn't be much easier. It's like
drop box, pop something in there and it uploads automatically.

I have such the dry sense of humor, David. Sorry about that.
Like I said, I knew where you were headed with that as well, and I attempted
to be mr funny today.
He apologized and now we all move on.
Hows that OneDrive working for ya.

I point out that it was a rather abusive statement is all. Just wanted to
know why he made it as a curiosity.

I shouldn't chime, but I think his point was he doesn't care for vista?
I know where you're headed with that but...

Unfortunitly, I’ve got no clue about Vista, therefore, I don’t use it, nor
do I care about vista, because I haven’t heard good things about it!
