I got the Windows.ios file from the Microsoft website and placed it on my desktop.
1. Am I correct that I need to completely DELETE Jaws v17 and all its shared components first Your best course of action might be to go onto the Freedom Scientific web site and download the instructions along with a special file which will assist you in making the transition.? 2. If I start narrator in Windows seven will Narrator talk me through the installation process? Yes, at least for the most part. Narrator in later versions after Windows 8.1, is an excellent voice over tool. However, initial stages of the conversion to Windows 10 will not talk. It might be advisable to request direct assistance from the Microsoft Disability Support Desk. 800-936-5900 3. When my sighted friend was showing me his windows 10 computer when narrator started running I heard something about screen reader users might want to switch to Internet Explorer instead of using Edge I think it is called. Is this still true? Yes. As of this time, Microsoft Edge does not talk using Jaws. That is an ongoing issue which is being worked on by both Freedom and Microsoft. I believe that a solution will be found shortly. In the meantime, switching to Microsoft Internet explorer is the correct alternative. 4. Is there anything else I should consider when upgrading that I have not mentioned? I recommend that you join the Windows 10 and Jaws e-mail list, at least temporarily. Jim has quite a few instructional files which you will find most useful. He stores them on One Drive and will provide direct access on request. You will find the direct submission link in another message on this list. Good luck, Sir. I believe that you will find Windows 10 an excellent choice.
