Hi Jeffrey, Windows key + Enter will not work in Windows 7, which is what the original poster is using. It works in Windows 8 and up.

I know you said Alt n to fire up narraotr. But windows key enter also will fire up narrator. If we can fire up narrator, why go to the ease of access and then go to narrator? Can't we elimate the middle man and use just the narrator with a new computer for the first time? I hopefully will have a new computer myself here around thanks giving and or Christmas. So thanks.

Next, press Alt + the letter N, to start Narrator. Be patient, Narrator may take a few seconds to start talking. >From this point, you should be able to navigate the pre-setup screens using the tab key and arrow keys. Once you have completed this process, Windows should load the desktop, at which time you can install Jaws.

I chose one that uses Windows 7 because I have MS Office 2007 and Outlook 2007 and they serve my needs. I am charging the computer now. When I turn it on for the first time it will have no speech capability so I don't know if it will show instructions or updates on the screen. I will load my JAWS 15 SMA CD and run it. Are there any traps or problems anybody has experienced in starting their laptop for the first time? Would it be a good idea to have sighted help for that initial start? Any wisdom will be appreciated.
