Re: [JAWS-Users] windows 7 security center
Hi Kevin, No, it did not work, though I could have sworn I posted that to the list, but thank you very much for your help. Not sure if you saw my detailed account of how I managed to Install Windows 10, but I basically had to shut down a number of background applications I had running in order to make sure that the download/installation could go through as it was supposed to. I also shut down my anti-virus/malware altogether, as opposed to simply shutting down the active monitoring. I also took the added precaution of disconnecting any peripherals I had connected to the computer, making sure that it wasn't a possible hardware conflict. Having said that, I did manage to figure out that the SoundBlaster sound card I had initially thought was the problem wa snot after all. I still managed to install the Windows 10 upgrade despite it still being installed on my system, so I've deduced it was a software issue all along. If you have any questions, or if you need me to re-post my message that detailed what I did, let me know, and I'll send it to you off list so as not to place a second copy on the Jaws-users server.

Since he is using Windows 8.1, he only need download and install the latest version of Jaws 16, then install Windows 10. No need to re-install Jaws 16 once the Windows 10 is complete, as it should come up working after the installation. You're thinking about Windows 7, of which he is not using. Hope this helps.
