Hi Dave, Based on how you said you'll use the computer, the home version would be the best -- basically because it's the same as the Pro but cheaper for any future upgrades. I would also say get the tandem version because, you're right, if you need help then someone can remote in to your system.
You can use WE during the JAWS download. When you actually execute the installation, you shouldn't need WE because JAWS has a talking installer too. If you let it use the recommended basic install, it's pretty simple. You can always go in and change settings later. I'm a new JAWS user after more than 20 years using WE. It's different and I still prefer WE but it's good to have the JAWS there and ready for when I want/need it.
