[nfbcs] Upgrading to Windows 10

[Curtis Chong]

Gary:

I had both good and bad experiences upgrading to Windows 10. On my Dell
Latitude E6400, the upgrade went smoothly until my audio suddenly decided to
quit after an update. I worked with Dell to resolve this, but since they
couldn't fix the problem, that machine had to roll back to Windows 7.

At the office, I upgraded an HP computer to Windows 10, and so far, it has
been behaving quite nicely. The one problem you will notice is that some
things like Windows Update and other deep utilities that the average person
normally never uses are not quite as accessible with speech as one would
like. The basic system stuff works great. The Desktop is still the Desktop,
and the Start Menu provides the nice search feature that we have used with
Windows 7. All Programs are sort of back.

Cordially,

Curtis Chong

Subject: [nfbcs] Upgrading to Windows 10

Does anyone have experiences they would be willing to share about upgrading
from Windows 7 or 8 to Windows 10? The normal advice I have heard is to wait
for an upgrade until you get a new machine, but I know many people who have
new machines and who are very tired of the behavior they are getting in
Windows 8. Does there appear to be a substantial difference in performance
between Windows 10 when it is the initial install and when it has been
installed as a part of an upgrade?
