Hello Kelly, Do you happen to recall the name of the Windows 8.1 book you used? I used a bunch of BookShare books for Win7 and iOS when I first started to use those OS's. They were all very helpful. Im thinking of upgrading to a Win 8.1 machine in the next few weeks when all the back to school specials and dumping of 8.1 PC's begins with the roll out of Win10 and would like to familiarize myself with it so I dont' go in for lack of a better term, blind.

Before doing anything more, I strongly suggest upgrading to Windows 8.1, which is much better for a blind end user than Windows 8. After that, I used a book about Windows 8.1 found on bookshare to introduce me to the changes and the options for configuring my system for Windows 8.1.
