Mario,
Download and use a free utility called Rufus. It works faster and better
than the Microsoft Windows 7 USB/DVD Download Tool. This program requires no
installation onto your computer, and you can creat a bootable flash drive or
disk with it. You can do an internet search for the download page.

Subject: Re: [JAWS-Users] Upgrading to Windows 10, Microsoft Accessibility;
Says sighted assistance necessary
as I read somewhere, you can create a bootable DVD or USB but only after
upgrading first, unless you purchase a retail or OEM copy of windows 10.
I would like to know how this would be done so I have notes on the steps
to do this once I'm ready.
I hope FS will still send out DVDs for JAWS 17, unless someone can tell
us different.

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
