Subject: [JAWS-Users] Upgrading to Windows 10, Microsoft Accessibility;Says
sighted assistance necessary
Hello Gang:
I tried to upgrade an older Dell laptop to Windows 10, yesterday, through
the MS Accessibility Help Desk. But, was unsuccessful, because I had so many
Windows 7 updates to download and install. Still having to download some
today.
However, here is my point. While talking to one of the MS helpers, he told
me, "Well, Sir, you know that when we do the download for Windows 10, there
will be a time, when there is no connection with us, and sighted assistance
will be necessary." I replied, "Well, I understand at that point, I can turn
on the narrator and complete it without sighted assistance."
He said, "I don't think that is really the case. You need sighted
assistance."
Well, according to the notes from Jim Flusche, The narrator is totally
useable, after the 10 install. Or did I misunderstand Jim's instructions?
Two final questions:
1. Does FS send out CDs for the JAWS 17, for those of us with a SMA?
2. Would a CD be a good thing to have for starting a new Windows 10
computer, or can that be done via narrator, as well.
Thanks. Have a great Sunday!
Neil
