Hi Jason,
there's a description of the start menu, and other stuff related to the 
taskbar, in the following guide:

Concerning alt+tab only cycling the two mostly recently opened windows, I don't 
have that problem on my computer, but have seen it reported.

David.

Hello JAWS users, 

I installed JAWS on a Windows 10 machine today at work. The process was mostly 
accessible. I invoked Microsoft Narrator, which I hadn't used before, and 
managed to use it to run Internet Explorer, download the latest JAWS 17 
release, and start the installation. I switched off Narrator as soon as I 
started the JAWS installation, so I didn't discover without help that, while 
installing, the system had switched to the lock screen. Also, after the reboot 
required as part of the installation process, I was again at the lock screen 
and needed to supply credentials. It's possible that Narrator would have 
worked at the lock screen after the reboot, but I didn't test it in that 
situation. There was no beep or other auditory cue to indicate that the system 
had rebooted successfully. 

Now to the inevitable questions. 

Where would I find the best description currently on offer of the Windows 10 
desktop and start menu? 

I also noticed that Alt-Tab only cycled through the two most recently opened 
windows. Have others experienced this result, and if so, is there a solution 
or alternative if you want to switch between any of your open 
windows/applications? 

I installed Firefox and configured it as the default browser. Since Microsoft 
Office is installed, I set Outlook as the default e-mail application. 

I expect to have more issues and questions as I try to turn this system into 
an effective work environment. However, I'll try to repay any advice by 
helping others on this and other lists as I try to do whenever I have 
knowledge or insight to share.
