Hi Jim,
What did you do when you had to select between a Typical setup and a Custom
setup? I installed Windows 10 just as you did, but when the actual
installation started, I lost JAWS for speech, and could not get Narator to
start. Several hours past before I could complete the installation. I
finally had someone with sight to read my screen for me, and it was obvious
what I needed to do, and the remainder of the installation only took a few
minutes from that point. Once it did finish, JAWS restarted and prompted for
my sign in information. So far, I am liking Windows 10, but I did have that
one little hiccup which required some sighted assistance to get through.

Hi Londa:
Just download the media tool to your computer.
Press enter on the tool.
wait until you here what do you want to do on this computer.
update this computer is already highlighted, tab to the next button and
press enter.
you will get a message saying, downloading windows 10, you can keep using
your computer.
When it is downloaded, follow the steps it gives you.
You do not fool with any mounting or any thing like that.
just install after following the different screens.
I am helping a friend update her computer right now.

Hi Jim,
It seems like you are really enjoying the upgrade. The more I'm reading, the
more impatient I'm getting. When you used the media creation tool, did you
have to put it on an empty drive? I don't have any of those laying around.
Also, how did you get into the file you downloaded? I've heard that iso
files have to be mounted. It sounds like it wasn't that difficult for you,
so I'd like to know how you got it working. I may very well wish to follow
your steps. Thanks.

You obviously did not read all of my email.
I only had to remove and reinstall jaws 16.
All, I repeat all, my programs and settings carried over.
Please quit complaining, if you wish not to update your computer, that is
your business.
do not discourage others.
windows 10 works better than 7, 8, and 8.1 combined...
I can use every program so far on my computer.

This is just one reason I am in no hurry to upgrade, having to uninstall and
reinstall many programs.

Hi, jaws users:
Important: totally uninstall jaws and reinstall it after you update to
windows 10.
I tried just repairing jaws 16, but I could not access the start button.
called Microsoft support, they told me to uninstall and reinstall jaws, and
they were right.
everything is working now except for cortana.
I used the media tool from Microsoft, you must have reserved windows 10 to
use this tool successfully.
I personally give Microsoft a A+ for windows 10.
All my files, folders, and settings were transferred without any problems.
So far all my programs work.
the first time I used the Microsoft tool, it took about 2 hours to download
windows 10, but five minutes into the setup it failed.
I immediately did the download again, took about 20 minutes, and upgraded my
windows 7, 64 bit to windows 10 home, with no issues.
Again, after uninstalling and reinstalling jaws, I had no issues on windows
10.
Good luck to everyone...
drink plenty of coffee...ahah

A Ballast for My Soul
Life is like a stormy sea
That tosses to and fro,
But God's Word will ever be
A ballast for my soul.
By its truth I'll be held fast
Till I reach heaven's shore
Where I will be home at last
And sail life's sea no more!
