I have read both of your recent E-mails. I can't answer many of your
questions regarding the process since I have not done it. However, it occurs
to me that the answers to some of your questions depends on whether you do a
clean installation or just install it on top of a previous installation of
Windows. If you just do an upgrade, you may well retain many of your
programs and settings. However, I've heard from those who do this type of
thing that clean installs work better. Certainly, I would have a back-up in
place. In response to your issue with your Get Windows 10 icon, I finally
removed the update. I will hide the update when I update my machine again. I
have my updates set to advise me of my updates, but let me choose when to
download and install them. I've heard in Windows 10 that you don't have that
choice any more. A good link to an article that tells you how to remove this
icon is:
http://www.howtogeek.com/218856/how-do-you-disable-the-get-windows-10-icon-shown-in-the-notification-tray/
It is my understanding that removing the icon will in no way prevent you
from getting Windows 10 whenever you desire. Evenif it did, you can always
unhide the update and reinstall it later.

Subject: Windows 10 Upgrade Process
Hi: I might upgrade to Windows 10 pretty soon.
What is the Process and what accessibility issues might I encounter?
Are my drivers left in place?
Do I have to jump through hoops to get my paid version of Eloquence back -
will it be removed?
Do I have to ReSetup the Desktop Icons and Task Bar pinned items?
What about Internet Explorer and my Office 365 Outlook and Word, office,
settings and features?
Are people still having problems with accessibility during installation
using, I guess, narrator?
Do I have to ReDownload and Install Windoweyes for Office?
Does the online download and installer work and is it completely accessible?
Anything else I am forgetting to ask about before setting up a plan and
obtaining whatever information I will need to get back up and running?
Any particular better way than clicking on the get windows 10 button in the
notification task bar to download and install windows 10 when it comes to
accessibility or implementation?
Any suggested way to go back to my current Windows 8.1 if the install fails?
Rick USA
