Here's my take on your questions, after having updated 2 of my computers to
Windows 10 in the past week. 1 of these computers was a Windows 7 machine,
and the other was an 8.1 machine.

Are you saying that your Windows.old folder does not contain anything? If
not, that's strange, because it should have a lot of stuff in it. Should you
want to revert back to your old operating system, you will need this folder
and its contents to do so. Maybe the files and folders

Try your State Library or the BARD website for the books on the Office 2013
applications. I am willing to bet that they are available from one or both

Yes, it is totally safe to do so, in fact, I do not know where else you
might get them from, I do not know if they are available from the
publisher's web site or not. The voices that I personally like best are

Another way of shutting down is to open the start menu by pressing the
Windows logo key, as always, then right arrow to the right column, then
arrow up to the Power button, and press the space bar, and the options to
shutdown, restart, etc will be displayed.

I agree, Windows 10 is awesome, A ++!
Smoothest transition to a new operating system I have done yet.
Give it a try if you want too, or wait but do not be afraid of the new
computer system.

I think the Expressive voices only work with JAWS 15 and above. I forget how
far back the Direct voices go, but I think it might be 13. The Expressive
voices are definitely better.

Hi Carolyn,
FS has a webinar on Outlook and JAWS. It's around 4 hours worth of audio
material for $75. I've seen the cost of other similar products for a lot
more money. I'm planning on taking it myself once I wrap up some other
things and have some time on my hands.

the techs say that folder eats up a lot of space!
it was said that using disc cleanup can get rid of that but when I used disc

I know so many shortcuts it's automatic to me but it's not always easy to

On the voices I like the Tom Premium High voice. I am very hard of hearing
and wear hearing aids. I find this voice very natural sounding and very easy
to understand with my hearing loss.
Just my two cents worth.

You know, I asked about Outlook 2013; maybe I should ask about Office 2013.
I know enough about Office 2010 to do fair in 2013, but Outlook sometimes is
more trouble than ten puppies and a baby duck.
