In general when installing an upgrade to Os X, I would see no reason why you should have to reinstall Windows as long as you aren't using a non-standard disk partition configuration on your Mac (e.g. you manually modified the partition configuration after installing Windows via Boot Camp). I don't think updates to the Support Software are mandatory, either, though sometimes they provide fixes to possible security issues. In any case, I believe the Dongle Viewer is located in the JAWS window under the Utilities menu. If your Dongle requires an update, you'll have to contact Freedom Scientific.. I wouldn't worry too much if I were you and things are currently working fine. I had to do some troubleshooting and things didn't go as expected, that's all. It's an irritant, definitely, but it's not as though you will permanently lose access to JAWS. If you telephone Freedom Scientific when any issue comes up, I am sure they will help you put it right. :) While it's obviously important to backup your data before installing any kind of upgrade, chances are things should go just fine. Note: I have only installed a minor upgrade to OS X as my computer came preinstalled with OS X Mavericks, but this information is based on extensive reading on the Apple Support website. I'm sure others will chime in if they have different experiences.
