Hi Tom, I would say W10 is not that hard to use. Things are just in a little different places in W10 then in W7. Like I said in a previous email if you join the W10 group and listen to some of Jim's audio files it will make the learning curve way easier than just going on your own. Just by listening to Jim's audio files he take you through step by step and it makes it a lot easier to learn where things are and what short cut keys to use. Otherwise after you learn the layout of the new W10 it is quite easy to get around after you learn how to find the things you are looking for. Jim also tells you how to install the new W10 step by step using Jaws and how to configure W10 to make it easier to get around. That why I advise people to join the group and download the audio files and text files before installing W10 as it will help you understand W10 a lot better and you won't be pulling your hair out. But if you want to do it the hard way and you are bald anyway have at it. Also Jim's audio and text files are free and you can ask any questions on the list you may have. That is my two cents worth. Ed
