Hi Terry,

As others have said, it is recommended that you wait to update to Windows 
10. I plan to update one computer so I can check it out, but haven't done so 
yet.  Freedom Scientific says that Jaws does work well with it. None of the 
screen readers work with Edge, which is the default browser. Internet 
Explorer has so many securitty issues that Microsoft created this new 
browser. It was mentioned at the NFB Convention that Microsoft has made 
substantial  advances in accessibility for their products recently, so 
hopefully things will continue to get better. You have a year to update for 
free to Windows 10, so wait if you can.

Take care,

Lucy

Lucy,

Can you comment about Microsoft 10 for Me, please. Spoke to someone Saturday
and they told me you commented on this. That the new 10 will not be to
accessible or not at all with the new Search for the Edge and when it is
downloaded to continue to make Internet Explorer your default browser. I am
trying to learn about this program before switching over and found this
interesting. I have read some materials but found this comment interesting
and glad I heard it. Is there other things that might be of help to us also.
Thanks.

Terry K
