I downloaded windows 10 through the microsoft website and used
the media creation tool. I reserved my fre upgrade and there
were so many problems, I couldn't even use internet explorer nor
use windows update. I recomen you do it that way instead of
reserving it in the sblestem tray.

Yes,
Thank you for the detailed instructions I found them very
helpful. I
plan to upgrade soon. The part of my question that didn't get
answered is how to do a system backup so I can back all my stuff
up on
to my external hardrive in case my upgrade goes crazy and I lose
things? I don't anticipate that, but you know how computers can
be.

thanks,
Dacia

Hi Al, The answer is Yes, you need to reinstall Jaws 16
after upgrading to w-10.
Here are the instructions again, I highly recommend
following them for a smooth upgrade experience.
*Upgrading to Windows 10 with jaws 16.
go to:
http://www.freedomscientific.com/Support/TechnicalSupport/Wi
ndows10Upgrade
Download the tool called utility tool, leave it in your
download folder.
Download jaws 16.0.4350, leave it in your download folder
for future use.
Download the Microsoft media creation tool at:
http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/software-download/windows10
On this web page, Go to download link now 64 bit version or
32 bit version depending on what system you have.
Download the tool and save it to your download folder for
future use.
Leave all three of these downloads in your download folder.
Now, if you have not reserved windows 10, please do so.
press enter on the get windows 10 icon in the notification
area.
go down the page and fill in your email address ext. this
gives you a verification email.
Now, restart your computer.
check for updates, install any updates, restart to make sure
you have all the latest updates.
Now you are ready to begin the upgrade to windows 10.
Run the jaws utility tool, this will get rid of any jaws
fragmented files and so on from your system.
Run the media creation tool.
yes, for your users account warning.
Choose, update this computer now and press enter.
you are now in an ongoing and updating dialog which says:
Windows 10 is being downloaded, continue using your
computer.
This could take anywhere between 30 to 60 minutes, depending
on your download speed.
When it is done downloading, it will go through several
screens itself updating your computer and will get it ready
for windows 10.
Next, there will be a screen asking you to except the
license agreement, check the yes and press enter on next.
Again, the program will run through several screens by
itself.
Next, press enter on install.
now you will have no speech, this install takes 45 to 60
minutes to complete.
After 1 hour, press the Windows key+enter key to turn on
narrator.
Wait for a few minutes if it does not come on right away.
Almost done.
press the next button.
choose express settings.
press the next button.
if done right, in about 10 to 15 minutes, jaws will come on
talking on the desktop.
very important, uninstall jaws.
Keep shared settings and personal settings.
Reinstall jaws, no need for a restart here, jaws will come
on talking with all your settings, except for 2 of them.
Redo your shortcut key, control+ALT+j.
Redo the setting to have jaws come on at the log-on screen.
For whatever reason if the media tool fails the first time.
Check for updates, restart, and run the tool again.

The answer to question #2, from my understanding monitoring
the windows 10 and jaws list, is no.

Hi,
I have a couple of questions about upgrading to windows 10.
I've finally been asked to upgrade from windows 8.1 to
windows 10 today.
One, how do I do a system backup to my external hardrive?
Second, do I have to reinstall JAWS once I upgrade to 10?
I'm currently using windows 8.1 with JAWS 16 on a Lenovo
laptop.
thanks,
Dacia
