Thanks for the info Mike. I guess I'll just be a little more patient.

Subject: Windows 10 upgrade
Hi. Ok, I will try my best to answer the questions as to how you know
when
your Windows 10 upgrade is ready to install. For further information,
please see my earlier posts concerning the difficulties I had upgrading to
Windows 10. Like you, Brice, I reserved my upgrades to Windows 10 on two
computers. For whatever reason, my Windows update history under Windows
8.1
showed at least a dozen failed upgrades. My laptop running Windows 7 64
bit
home edition showed at least two failed upgrades. I called the Microsoft
Accessibility Answer Desk on three occasions and the reps remotely
accessed
the computers and downloaded the upgrades manually. If things will work
as
they're supposed to work, you should be notified by Window-eyes when
you're
download is taking place. Once the download is finished, you should hear
a
notification that it is ready to install. Depending upon the speed of
your
internet connection and because the download file is about four gigs, it
could take several hours to download and install. Each download and
installation took about five hours. Remember, once the installation
begins,
Window-eyes will not talk. During the installation as Doug Geoffray
indicated in an e-mail to a list member, you will need to use narrator to
finish the installation and setup before Window-eyes 9.2 comes up talking.
Your computer will restart several times, and before Window-eyes stops
talking, a message will be spoken that says something like this. Your
computer will restart several times and this could take a while. Oh, and
once you upgrade to Windows 10, the failed updates will of course be
removed. As we're all in the habit of saying, hope that helps.

P.S. During the installation while Window-eyes is not talking,
periodically
press the Windows key and the enter key to launch Narrator. If Narrator
speaks, follow the prompts. At the risk of sounding like I'm bragging,
this
is my first installation of a Windows upgrade I have done without sighted
help thanks to Doug's instructions, Window-eyes 9.2 being able to remain
installed, and let us not forget Narrator. .
