Hi, I have spent a great deal of time customizing my two laptops with Windows 10 and I have been pretty happy with the way both Jaws and Microsoft have arranged the Settings adjustments in Windows 10. For example, today I received a wireless Logitech keyboard from Amazon and after plugging it into my hub I grabbed my Plantronics Edge Bluetooth ear piece that I normally use with both my iPhone and my Quest from Envision America and decided to see how easy it would be to pair with my Lenovo Z70 laptop. It was really simple and quick using the Windows 10 settings in Windows I. I can leave my huge 17.3 inch laptop sit in my bedroom and walk out to my porch and sit, or even into the kitchen and do email while drinking Coffee.

Have not installed Win 10, yet, but am saving your instructions in word documents. Think I will try Win 10 on a laptop, after JAWS 17 is released.

After pressing Windows key+I, You are now in the Settings area of w-10. You are now in a horizontal list of 9 categories, this means a Left to right list of 9 categories. Pressing Enter on any of these choices, will open a Vertical list of sub-categories, that means an up and down list of sub-categories. The first item in the sub-categories is always already selected, this means you can begin Tabbing across the different Controls immediately. If you want to look at any other sub-categories below the first one, just down arrow to the sub-category you want to look at and press enter. Now you can tab across the various controls, under your selected sub-category. Very important: Jaws has a tendency to ramble on in the Settings area of w-10. For Example: When you select a sub-category, and tab to the first Control under that sub-category. Jaws will read the sub-category information followed by the Control information of what Control you are on, followed by its current setting. So, after getting use to how Jaws reads the various settings windows in w-10. Press the Control key, to shut Jaws up. Press the Insert key+Tab, To have Jaws repeat only the information about the selected Control you are sitting on, and its current setting. What does current setting mean? When you hear, Button or Button checked. These are known as switches, Button checked, “the switch is on”, Button, “means the switch is off”. Combo-box, Followed by the currently selected Choice in the Combo-box. Use ALT+down arrow to open the Combo-box, if you want to change the choice. Use your arrow keys to change the selected choice, followed by enter on the new choice, this will change what the Combo-box is displaying. Press Insert key+Tab, to read your new setting in the combo-box, to verify that you changed it correctly. When you hear Radio button, followed by, it current selected Button. Use the up or down arrow keys, to select the desired radio button, just Tab to your next Control. When you hear list or open list, you are in a list of items, use the Down arrow to highlight, or to read through the list. OK, let us look at the Setting window sub-category called System. Windows key+I, for settings. Press Enter on System. You will hear, Display one of ten. So, Display is already selected because it is the first item. Please remember when tabbing across the Settings windows, you will always, eventually come to a Home button. Pressing Spacebar or Enter on the Home button, will take you back to the main Category page of 9 horizontal Categories. If you tab past this Home button, you will come to a Settings Search Edit box, You can type in a setting you are looking for and either press enter or tab one time to the list of possible results. This is another way of searching in w-10 for different Settings. If you Tab again, you will be back to the list of Sub-categories where you began.
