[Blindtlk] windows ten creator

[Lloyd Rasmussen]

Windows 10 Creator is a major update to Windows 10. It came out in April. 
There will be another update of similar size sometime this fall. It is free, 
and if you have been able to keep up with JAWS (now at version 18 plus 
monthly updates of its own), you will be able to use it. The Narrator screen 
reader continues to be improved, but it works very differently from JAWS. 
And the latest Narrator now supports braille displays.
Doing this update may take an hour or two, and your computer may reboot 
several times during the process. JAWs probably won't be able to tell you 
what is happening. So you may want to start up Narrator a few times. This 
update changes the Narrator start keystroke from Windows-Enter to 
ctrl-Windows-Enter. Apparently too many sighted people pressed Windows-Enter 
and got their computer talking, then didn't know how to shut it up or what 
the speech was for. So Microsoft made it a bit hardder to start Narrator. If 
Narrator is talking at the same time as JAWS, you can stop Narrator with 
capsLock-Escape. All of Narrator's commands use capsLock as the modifier 
key, including capsLock-F1 for Narrator Help.
Hope all this helps. I remember that we met you and your husband at the NFB 
convention a couple of years ago.

hi, I keep getting this notice on my computer about windows ten creator.
What is it and will it be accessible and does anyone know how much it
costs. If it isn't useful I don't want it. I already use windows ten
with jaws.
