I'm sorry but I cannot afford to have 2 laptops.
I'm glad you have the finances to own multiple laptops affording you
the ability of upgrading to Windows 10, but for someone like myself
it just isn't feasible.
I'm using Windows 7 Home (64 Bit) with latest build of JAWS 17 and a

Well, there's never an iron-clad guarantee that something may not go
wrong in any update process.
In fact, the most common advise you see is to back up your important
data before undertaking any major update.
And most people regularly update their important data, don't they!

Hi,
Please STOP complaining about windows 10 Jerald,
And the person who posted upgrading a really sick computer to windows 10,
Are you kidding, you should hit that PC with a bat first.
We are not talking about anything that has to do with jaws or learning jaws.
Excuse me, but exactly how was I complaining about Windows 10? I merely
pointed out that there are driver issues to consider before upgrading. My
post was most certainly on topic for this list, but if you believe
otherwise, then take it up with the moderators. And if you are happy with
Not necessarily. When I first connected my Samsung laser printer to my
current Windows 7 PC, the OS could not find compatible drivers for it. This
printer worked fine with my XP PC. So I had to visit the Samsung downloads
site to find Wimdows 7 drivers for my printer. You cannot assume
I personally believe that upgrading to Windows10 needs to be an individual
decision. No one should be criticized for choosing to upgrade or not to
upgrade. I am annoyed that Microsoft has taken this approach to force it on
us, but that is not my reason for not upgrading. My primary reason is
Your advice is right-on. If you visit the manufacturer's web site to search
for drivers for your peripheral devices, the site will usually detect which
OS you currently have installed and search for drivers for that particular
OS. So if, for instance, you visit the Samsung web site to
the windows 10 OS is capable of detecting the drivers needed as with windows
7 and 8

Enough of all this bickering, I'm sick of reading all of these messages
going around about do it, don't do it, ETC.
If a person wants to upgrade or not it is their choice. The list is for
supporting them in whatever decision they decide to make not to criticize
them for going one way or another.
I agree. 2 of the Win 10 computers in the house we had to go and find the
drivers for the printer.
I have upgraded 1 of my computers and the other 1 I am not for various
reasons, it's my choose to do so or not.
This thread is going on forever. It's simple Microsoft wants everyone on 10

Hi,
My Dell twine 3 in 1 and my canoscan with Openbook has had no problem with
drivers.
There is nothing wrong in using 2 laptops one running Wind 10 and the other
Wind 7, because jaws is jaws.
And I know that someone is going to have a problem on their hardwear
compatibility.
But, are we suppose
Thank you David. That is just what I was writing about, ending this thread.
Have a great day.
After blindness and a double organ transplant, you can say I am as resilient
as rubber, anything you throw at me I am going to bounce back from!

And suppose list members take your advice and rush to upgrade to Windows 10
only to discover that their printers and scanners no longer work because
Windows 10 drivers are not available for them. What then?

That's the point those who are imploring everyone to upgrade do not tell you.
You will encounter driver issues with printers, scanners, DVD
players, USB drives and the list goes on.
If you don't mind loosing the ability to use hardware devices you now
rely on, then go ahead and upgrade to
Here's a thought. We have until 2020 to use a fully supported Win7
which works with few problems. I prefer to use the computer as a
productivity tool and will leave upgrade headaches to others. When I
find that Win10 has enhancements which will materially help me in my
work, then I'll
You are so right with this point.
Even things like CD/DVD burners and Blu-ray players stop working due
to driver issues with Windows 10. In addition the incompatibility
issues JAWS has with the new Microsoft Edge browser makes this a
no-brainer for me at least.
I'm still using Windows 7 and
So all my files, and programs will not be deleted or ereased?

No, the update is painless. In fact, I upgraded a very sick Win 7 PC
last week which had multiple software driver issues.
It is not running smoothly on Win 10.

Hi,
When I upgraded to win10, I did not lose one file, non of my settings were
changed, and everything worked on my computer just like it did before I
upgraded. All I got were many many benefits. Please do not listen to all of
the negative stuff going around out there. Jim Flusche helped a lot
Let me get this straight, Microsoft is going to automattically update
people to windows 10 who have windows 7, 8, or 8.1 even if they have not
reserved a copy of windows 10 is this correct?
If so are your files deleted when this update/upgrade is complete or
are all your files/programs still
Updates are divided (in Win7 at least) between important and
recommended. I never download recommended because I chinstruct Windows
to check for updates and let me decide whether to download and install.
If the Win 10 install is an important upgrade, then you'd have to go

Anna, In the past, I've suggested to uninstall KB3035583, and then hide
it upon checking for updates, but I think what Gerald is implying is
that if you leave the settings on windows updates to be performed
automatically, you won't have any control as to what gets updated.

Anna, I'm no expert, but your question made me rethink my response I was
going to offer. kb3035583 does not provide any security patch to a

of 7 or 8.1 to reserve the free offer of upgrading to 10. so, I think

Hi.
You have to goto the Windows Update, Installed updates, and remove the
kb2952664, kb3035583, and kb3112343.
Don't restart the computer between each removal, but remove all 3 updates
before restart.
When the computer is Restarted, goto the Windows Update, and search for
updates, but don't
Yes Gerald I remember you saying that to uninstall KB3,335,583 and I did
