Hi. Actually, a more direct keystroke for launching narrator in
Windows 10 is windows key plus enter.
I do believe that those dialogues can be read by narrator, so if you
haven't installed the Windows 10 anniversary update yet, you can do it
completely without sighted help.
Also, the current version of Window-eyes will work with Windows 10,
but 9.0 won't work. so you'd need to use something like NVDA or Narrator
to upgrade Window-eyes to the latest. As far as the password goes, when
setting up your pc, it gives you an option to sign in with a microsoft
account at that point, so what i did was I chose not to and when it
asked for a password I just left that field completely blank. Like you,
my pc doesn't leave the house and i'm the only one using it so it's an
extra step i can get rid of. There's just no need for it. There is a
place in Windows where you can look at the accounts on there, and adjust
things how you want them. you'll also want to check and make sure that
user account control is where you want it. I personally turn it off
since I know what i'm doing with my pc and i don't need to be asked if i
want to do something. I hope all this helps.

I started up my new Windows 10 laptop last night for the first time. I have a
couple questions, more out of curiosity, since I was able to get my sighted
husband to read the screen to me.
* When I started the PC, it ran through a set of questions to set up
the PC. Should I have been able to use Narrator to read these had my husband
not been there?
* Once I got the Win 10 desktop, I launched Narrator. Seems like it
took a few tries with Windows N, but it did start. That helped me navigate the
menus, but if I get a dialog box, such as an installation dialog, I cannot
figure out how to get Narrator to read the whole dialog so I know what the
buttons mean. Any idea? I need to get Outlook set up so that I can get my
email from AI Squared with the link to the latest WE version. Turns out the
most recent Window Eyes disk I have is 9.0 and I'm getting an error when I try
to load it, so it must not be compatible with my Windows 10. I'm in a bit of a
snag here with not having a Window Eyes CD.
* During the set up process, I was asked for my Microsoft account
information. Since I have an MSN email address, I tried that information and
it worked. I guess that's fine. I figure it's nice to have a password aligned
between email, the store and the cloud storage, should I use it. But my
normally don't put a password on my laptop because it doesn't leave the house.
Should I be able to go into Win 10 settings somewhere and turn this off or
change the password to something easier just for logging into my computer? I
want a strong password for my email, but not for logging into Windows at home.
I like to be able to flip my computer on and either have it go straight to the
desktop or quickly move back the log in screen.
Now here's hoping all goes smoothly with learning Windows 10 and getting my
desktop set up.
