Re: [JAWS-Users] upgrading windows 10 questions

[valiant8086]

Hi.

I'll back this one, the problem that this is being caused by is that the 
scripts that work for the win7 win 8 environment aren't getting changed 
to be scripts for the win10 environment. For best results that having 
been said, when you do uninstall jaws, it might be necessary to have 
jaws remove the user settings also. Hopefully that'll ensure that the 
outdated scripts will be removed. I don't know for a fact that removal 
of the settings is necessary, I've only troubleshooted the difficulties 
once and didn't have a good idea what might be causing it from the get 
go so I ended up fixing things in a rather round-about manner. If anyone 
tries this, and still has odd behavior with areas like the start screen, 
it might actually be necessary to delete the %appdata%/freedom 
scientific/jaws/16.0/settings folder.


Speaking to the writer of the message I'm replying to, what did you do 
choice wise when uninstalling, remove user settings or no. Is that all 
you had to do, no manual deletion of settings files to force it to 
recreate proper ones?

I am aware of what Freedom Scientific says about not having to

   The main area's that it helps with a fresh install of Jaws 16 or

The Start button edit region.
The live tile region.
The All apps region.
Using different apps.
Some places in Settings.
A general, increase and response, of the snappyness of jaws in all 
area's of w-10.
So, no pissing contest, just a general disagreement about reinstalling 
Jaws on a w-10 computer, for maximum efficiency.,
I say for a smoother running and more responsive computer, that you 
should reinstall Jaws after upgrading to w-10, like Microsoft recommends.

You, say, leave it alone, because Freedom Scientific told you too.
You say, you have upgraded 46, Windows 8.1 computers, Do you work at a 
computer store or what?

If so, you have some sluggish computers running w-10 and Jaws!
Seriously, How long does it take to reinstall Jaws?
Not long! and you will have a more stable experience with Jaws on your 
w-10 computer...

Have a nice day...

Jim, with all due respect, both my experience and Freedom Scientific 
state

that a re-install of Jaws 16 is not necessary from Windows 8.1 to 10.

I meant no offence by my statement, I was simply stating a facts as 
released

by Freedom Scientific and my own experience installing Windows 10 on 46
computers to date, all of which were using Windows 8.1.

This is not a spitting contest, just one person passing information on to
another.

I'm glad your experiences are vast, and you can offer as much 
experience as

you can to the list, after all, that's what this list is here for, but I
will not curtail my passing on of knowledge simply because you feel I am
berating you for something I never berated you for.

Anyway, what matters is that the person got their installation of 
Windows 10
done using both our experiences, so let's be thankful, and leave it at 
that.

Hi Scorpio,
Jaws will work OK, but not as well as it should, unless you install it 
new

and fresh in w-10.
I speak from experience.
I have upgraded two w-7, and two w-8.1 computers, from beginning to end.
This includes customizing them as well.
The Start button, and search edit field, and the live tile region are
effected negatively, unless you reinstall Jaws.
I have assisted in many other upgrades.
Do not tell me I am wrong, Microsoft recommends, any users of Screen

Re: [JAWS-Users] upgrading windows 10 questions

[jim]

No, you do not have to remove user's settings, unless you want to.
You do not have to, delete any Jaws related files.
Run the Jaws tool to prepare your w-7 or w-8.1 computer for w-10.
Here are my steps for upgrading to w-10.
Upgrading to Windows 10 with jaws 16 or 17.
go to:
http://www.freedomscientific.com/Support/TechnicalSupport/Windows10Upgrade
Download the tool called utility tool, leave it in your download folder.
Download jaws 16.0.4350 or Jaws 17, leave it in your download folder for 
future use.

Download the Microsoft media creation tool at:
http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/software-download/windows10
On this web page, Go to download link now 64 bit version or 32 bit version 
depending on what system you have.

Download the tool and save it to your download folder for future use.
Leave all three of these downloads in your download folder.
Now, if you have not reserved windows 10, please do so.
press enter on the get windows 10 icon in the notification area.
go down the page and fill in your email address ext. this gives you a 
verification email.

Now, restart your computer.
check for updates, install any updates, restart to make sure you have all 
the latest updates.

Now you are ready to begin the upgrade to windows 10.
Run the jaws utility tool, this will get rid of any jaws fragmented files 
and so on from your system.
Tip, after running the F S tool, any time you restart your computer, you 
will get a message from Jaws saying:.
The mirror drivers are configured incorrectly, press the spacebar on this 
message.
In w-10, Jaws does not use the mirror drivers, that is the reason for this 
message.

Next, Run the media creation tool.
yes, for your users account warning.
Choose, update this computer now and press enter.
you are now in an ongoing and updating dialog which says:
Windows 10 is being downloaded, continue using your computer.
This could take anywhere between 30 to 60 minutes, depending on your 
download speed.
When it is done downloading, it will go through several screens itself 
updating your computer and will get it ready for windows 10.
Next, there will be a screen asking you to except the license agreement, 
check the yes and press enter on next.

Again, the program will run through several screens by itself.
Next, press enter on install.
now you will have no speech, this install takes 45 to 60 minutes to 
complete.

After 1 hour, press the Windows key+enter key to turn on narrator.
Wait for a few minutes if it does not come on right away.
Almost done.
press the next button.
choose express settings.
press the next button.
if done right, in about 10 to 15 minutes, jaws will come on talking on the 
desktop in your new w-10 PC.

Now, this is very important, uninstall and reinstall jaws 16 or 17.
This will give you the maximum performance in the w-10 environment.
Tips on how to do this.
Go to programs and features, press enter on Jaws 16 or 17.
Say yes, for your user’s account message.
Uninstall Jaws, Keeping shared settings and personal settings.
If the Jaws dialog does not tell you to restart, Turn Narrator on, Windows 
key+enter, restart your computer.
Wait the appropriate time for restarting, turn Narrator back on, Windows 
key+enter.
Go to your download folder where you have already put the latest Jaws 16 or 
17, set up file.

Press enter on the Jaws setup file.
Follow the Jaws prompts, to install Jaws 16 or 17.
After reinstalling jaws, no need for a restart here, jaws will come on 
talking with all your settings, except for 2 of them.

Redo your shortcut key, control+ALT+j.
Redo the setting to have jaws come on at the log-on screen.
All your other settings will be remembered by Jaws.
For whatever reason if the media tool fails the first time.
Check for updates, restart, and run the tool again.
In w-8.1, this method usually works the first time.
In w-7, you may have to repeat this method two times.
It is a little more difficult going from w-7, to w-10, then from w-8.1 to 
w-10.
There are more drivers which much be updated by Microsoft for your w-7 
computer to upgrade to w-10.
After completing your upgrade to w-10, see my text file, on customizing w-10 
with Jaws.

[Scorpio Forever]

Jim, with all due respect, both my experience and Freedom Scientific state 
that a re-install of Jaws 16 is not necessary from Windows 8.1 to 10.


I meant no offence by my statement, I was simply stating a facts as released 
by Freedom Scientific and my own experience installing Windows 10 on 46 
computers to date, all of which were using Windows 8.1.


This is not a spitting contest, just one person passing information on to 
another.


I'm glad your experiences are vast, and you can offer as much experience as 
you can to the list, after all, that's what this list is here for, but I 
will not curtail my passing on of knowledge simply because you feel I am 
berating you for something I never berated you for.


Anyway, what matters is that the person got their installation of Windows 10 
done using both our experiences, so let's be thankful, and leave it at that.

Hi Scorpio,
Jaws will work OK, but not as well as it should, unless you install it new
and fresh in w-10.
I speak from experience.
I have upgraded two w-7, and two w-8.1 computers, from beginning to end.
This includes customizing them as well.
The Start button, and search edit field, and the live tile region are
effected negatively, unless you reinstall Jaws.
I have assisted in many other upgrades.
Do not tell me I am wrong, Microsoft recommends, any users of Screen reading
software, to uninstall and reinstall them.
So, if you want a smooth running w-10 computer with Jaws 16 or 17, you
should follow Microsoft recommendation.
Just helping people get the most out of w-10 with Jaws...
How much experience do you have in upgrading computers to w-10?
When I give out instructions, I try to give them out as if everyone was on
their own with no sited help.
I have a great respect for those who are making it alone.
Each day is a challenge for all blind people, more so, when you are alone.
So, I research my answers when I give a step by step guide, as if each blind
person were doing the steps by themselves with no sited help.
This way hopefully, they will not have any problems.
So, again, its not a matter of being right about reinstalling Jaws, it’s a
matter of getting max performance out of Jaws 16 and 17 on your w-10
computer.
Have a nice day...

Your information is incorrect.

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.

There's a web page that gives you step by step instructions on how to do

Hi Lynn,
Yes, you should uninstall and reinstall Jaws 16 or 17, after upgrading to 
w-10.
There are places where it will not work well in w-10, Jaws needs  to be 
freshly installed.

Keep your shared components and keep your settings.
After reinstalling jaws, you do not have to restart your computer.
There are two settings you need to check.
Reset your short cut key for Jaws, Control+ALT+j.
Make sure that Jaws is checked, to come on at the log on screen.
All your other settings will remain as they were.

Hi Jim,

Your information is incorrect.

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.

Scorpio

Re: [JAWS-Users] upgrading windows 10 questions

[Kevin]

don't think you need to backup unless you want to make certain everything 
will be the same if you have to revert.

your computer will automatically save a copy of your previous windows system
here are steps you can do if you want to revert

To roll back to your previous windows , do the following. Go to control 
panel. In control panel go to the recovery option. At this point, use 
narrator since this area of windows 10 does not work with any screen readers 
including JAWS. Then use caps lock+right arrow to find the go back to 
windows 7 option. Press it. You will get a getting things ready screen, and 
then a  confirmation of what you're about to do. Press the okay button. At 
this point, you will get a screen which says restoring windows, with no 
speech available. Just wait until you here the windows startup sound. Note: 
this option is only available a month after you upgrade to windows 10. Also, 
upgrading to an insider build and/or running defragment and optimize drives 
will delete the necessary files for the rollback to windows 7.

Hi Dacia,

Windows has a fairly good back-up utility that is very reliable.  You can 
choose to make a back-up of your files, settings, or a complete image 
back-up of your computer, including operating system, settings, files and 
apps.


There's a web page that gives you step by step instructions on how to do 
this below.


Hope this helps.

Re: [JAWS-Users] upgrading windows 10 questions

[Scorpio Forever]

Hi Dacia,

No, you do not, because Freedom Scientific has stated that if you are 
upgrading from a Windows 8.1 computer to a Windows 10, as long as you have 
the latest version of Jaws 16, then you should be good to go, and don't need 
to re-install a thing.


Now, if you wish to download the Windows 10 media creation kit, so you can 
get your copy of Windows faster, then that's your prerogative, but there are 
no utilities you'll have to download for Jaws.


Good luck.

Scorpio

Windows has a fairly good back-up utility that is very reliable.  You can

There's a web page that gives you step by step instructions on how to do

Subject: [JAWS-Users] upgrading windows 10 questions

Hi,

I have a couple of questions about upgrading to windows 10.
I've finally been asked to upgrade from windows 8.1 to
windows 10 today.
One, how do I do a system backup to my external hardrive?
Second, do I have to reinstall JAWS once I upgrade to 10?
I'm currently using windows 8.1 with  JAWS 16 on a Lenovo
laptop.

thanks,

Dacia
