Hello everybody For quite a while, I’ve been looking around for information as to how to install Windows 10 from the ground up. The support people at Site & Sound here in the UK gave me a hint as to how this is accomplished. However, the reason I couldn’t get it to work was because they made one glaring mistake, and I must credit Mr. Trethowan for giving me the heads-up as to their error. So, for the benefit of anybody who may be able to use this information, here’s how you do it.
• As a prerequisite for this process to work with accessibility enabled, you must have Windows 10 Fall Creator’s Update, (Build 1709) at the earliest. • You must create a bootable Windows 10 media device from which to start the process • Your computer’s BIOS or EFI BIOS must be configured to allow boot from USB or DVD as a primary device. The method you use to accomplish this depends upon your machine. From memory, if you have an American MegaTrends Inc. BIOS, you can find the setting for this on the main screen once you sercomvent any BIOS passwords which are configured. If you have a Gigabyte BIOS, you need to go into the Advanced Functions screen and scroll down to Boot Sequence. Naturally, there’s no method of accomplishing either of these tasks with accessibility • Another way you might get your machine to boot, if you have somebody with sight close at hand, is by activating the boot menu which appears on many systems just before the hard disk boot begins. If you can do this, you can then scroll down to your desired boot media and just hit enter. But we’ll assume you don’t have eyes at hand, and proceed • Once you have these preconditions satisfied, place your boot media into the drive, and power-cycle the machine • When you’ve done this, go make yourself a coffee, cup of tea or whatever tickles your fancy, and leave your computer to its own devices, (pardon the pun), for a few minutes • When you return to the machine, press Windows+Control+Enter and assuming your sound device is a fairly modern standardised one, you should be able t use Narrator from that point onwards. Actually, since its dark days of Windows 98/Vista/2000, Narrator has evolved out of sight. Indeed, even since Windows 10’s initial roll-out, it has improved markedly. Although a little tedious in some ways, Narrator is now a perfectly acceptable tool, at least until you can get something more substantial installed.
