What happens when you try to run the Desktop version on your two laptops? That should still work, and so should my scripts; though there is a problem related to MSAA that I've seen affect my scripts and others on Windows 8 and 10 from time to time, for which I wrote another set of scripts to work around.

I upgraded from Windows 7 to Windows 10 when it first came out. I have two HP laptops: the HPG72 and the HP Probook 6570B models. It will all take some getting used to that is for sure. On an unrelated note, can anyone recommend either a foldable or a small bluetooth keyboard for use with iOS devices running the latest iOS update? I own an iPod Touch 5th generation and an iPhone 5s. I'll be looking to either buy a bluetooth keyboard from either Best Buy or Fry's Electronics or Amazon in the USA. The reason why I'm asking is that I normally use my braille display but it is our of commission right now and I need something to help me type fast comfortably. The screen is my friend up until I start typing. LOL! Thanks for any recommendations. Even trifoldable keyboards would work for me as well. One requirement is that I would need keys to be distinct and I need to feel comfortable typing, I wouldn't want a keyboard that looks like the T-Mobile Dash, for those who might remember what that looked and felt like, but to those who don't know, it looked like a mini calculator and all the buttons were tiny and the spacing was so small. Again, thanks for any recommendations. I'm looking in the $20 through $50 range if that helps any. Thanks much. Chela -- You can live the life you want. your disability is not what holds you back.

So, there you have it. I'm assuming that certain laptop models won't run the desktop version while the app version will. Just my personal experience with this, if you would like, I can test NVDA to see how that works with Skype App, but I can honestly say that desktop version won't work on both computers anymore with NVDA and JAWS, I'll report back to you how NVDA does with the app version of Skype if you would like for me to do so. Just let me know. Sincerely, Simp?tico Trumpeter Chela Robles -- You can live the life you want. your disability is not what holds you back.

Microsoft is planning a completely new design of skype. Windows 7 is still supported and it is use by very much companies, so I don't believe that the desktop version wouldn't available.
