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.

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!

Please STOP complaining about windows 10 Jerald,

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

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
Awhile back someone posted 3 ways to repair Jaws. The most helpful way for me
was the third way which was similar to the way I repaired it in older versions
where you go to a place that asked if you wanted to modify or repair. Can
someone repost the directions? I was going to open the EXE
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

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

I have used a log-in password since Windows 98.
This is a measure of security for your computer wherever it is located to
prevent others from accessing it
and making changes without your permission, such as turning off Jaws if they
don't need it.

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?

Most laptops have a switch or a Fn key combination to turn on/off the
