your right. but after i have someone change the boot order i just leave it this
way. it doesn't hurt anything. besides if you have to format the drive and
reinstall you would still have to change the boot order before you can do the
clean install of windows with the installation disk.

Casper can apparently do this, but you still got to go into the BIOS and change
the boot order or go into a boot menu at startup, both of which requires
sighted assistance. On the Mac, there is no BIOS, but there is a boot menu on
every single Mac. Just press and hold the option key after the startup chime.

There has been a lot of talk on the list recently about upgrading to Windows
10. Some subscribers advocate, and rightly so, to make a backup of all files
and folders. The process of doing that is relatively easy. However, making a
backup of your entire C drive, which would include all files, folders and
programmes, on that drive is quite another matter using the Windows
operating system. I can achieve this easily using the Mac operating system.
Indeed, I can make a backup on an external drive which, should anything
happen to the internal drive on my Mac, I can boot easily from the external
drive.
Perhaps there is an easy way to do the same thing using the Windows
operating system which is accessible using a screen reader. If there is, I
would love to know how to go about it. Of course, making such a backup would
be useful regardless of upgrading or not.
Unfortunately, Microsoft has a long way to go when it comes to
accessibility. And yes, I fully understand that we are a small community in
the grand scheme of things. Nevertheless, the same thing applies when it
comes to Apple, but they really have done a lot to make their products
accessible to all those with differing needs.
Well done Apple, and shame on Microsoft for doing the bare minimum.
